My Wilton Leeson motor finally gave up the ghost. I have found a Leeson 1.5hp and a World Electric 2hp. The price is actually better on the 2hp. Does anyone have any experience with the World Electric brand of motor? Seeking advice on which one to go with. Also have a 1hp Baldor temporarily hooked up, but it bogs down and cuts off & won't start back up until it cools off. Then seems to build its speed up slowly when you restart it.:confused:
 
As long as the frame number on the replacement is the same go ahead and swap motors. You may need to increase the wire rating and fuse size for the 2HP.

On the identification plate there will be space called Frame and a number along side it.

This number identifies the bolt pattern, front or base mounted, and physical dimentions of the motor, in short will it fit without modification??
