It's a permanent magnet 2-1/2hp dc motor, 7900 rpm , magnetic rpm setup, has a reostat type controller for speed and it does run. Now just need to figure out exactly what I'm gonna do with it.
Charley,
Most DC treadmill motors I've seen have a red and a black wire going to the motor. (The blue wires, if any, go to a thermal switch.) Normally red is + and black is -. Reverse them to reverse the motor.
