Source for GE 1 1/8 hp motor parts?

Post by stilllearning »

Thanks in advance to anyone who might know where to steer me on this. I am looking for a centrifugal switch for my Mark V motor. This is a GE 1 1/8 hp. model, number is 5kc37pn186a

Bought this motor, used, a few years ago. Disassembled it to clean out sawdust and check lubrication. When the rotor assembly popped out it fell to the floor, hitting the lower shelf on my work bench on the way down, and breaking the plastic rotor on the starter switch assembly.

Does anyone know where I might be able to buy this part? [e.g. the centrifugal switch assembly since nobody will sell, I'm guessing, just the plastic part that I broke]. Have found some non-OEM replacements that look like they might work (eg., shaft bore and speed rating seem correct) but am no expert on this, so I'm rolling the dice...

You could try a local, small motor repair shop,

Also there are a few people online that do Shopsmith repairs, and might have dead motors that they are keeping for parts that you could try.

Around here, I have a local motor repair shop that either has on hand or can get just about any part for a motor. You might check for a local shop near you. They might have all the parts and can service the motor for you.
