Which motor better? Thanks

[markhazed]

there are two 3/4 motor for MARK V. I am plan to get one of them, but I have no idea which one better. Can anyone give me some suggestion which one that i should have?

1. GE A-C MOTOR: Model# 5KC39NG 202; 3450 RPM; 3/4 HP; 110 V; PHASE: 1
2. A.O. SMITH: MODEL# C56K2A8; Serial# F-54; Frame: 56Y; 3450HP; 115V; PHASE: 1;

Please see attached pictures for detail.

Thanks

I am not the expert on this topic by far.. But I have 3 shopsmiths two have ge motors one has an ao smith motor. All three run great.. I don't think it matters.

I agree, but the GE has(I assume) the external start relay and capacitor whereas the A O Smith has internal start switch.

Take your pick.


Let $ be your guide.

P.S. I am assuming both have the pulley etc..
