Greetings all; I finally got that motor out, but I've no clue how old it is. Rated at 3/4 horse, I've seen 15 horse Ajax motors on a water pump that were no bigger. Somewhere north of 50 lbs, base bolt pattern is 6.75" square, and shaft center is 4.25" above the mount plate. The 1 horse 3 phase is only 3.5" shaft center above the mount, and the bolt pattern is 5" square. Might go 35 lbs, but 30 would be a closer guess. So I'm going to round up some 1.5" wide by 1/4" thick bar, around 16" and make a couple bolt down clamps. Everything that ought to be an hours work seems to delight in taking two weeks and a tank of gas to get it all in one pile to bolt up again.
I compared the weight of that 3/4 horse with 3/4's of Colonel, which was a horse we had a pair on on the farm in 1945, King and Colonel, a pair of Perches that between them weighed 4150 lbs, We had tractors, but if we really needed something moved, daddy would whistle up those 2, and it got moved. Daddy spoke horse, many times if I was picking corn, I never heard the commands for them to take a couple steps. But they did. But the motor is in great shape, drum switch to go with it in case anyone needs it. Ball bearings, quiet. I 2 wheeled it down to the boat house to be in out of the weather till whenever.
