I bought it last year and used it a couple of days getting the hay in. The motor overheated so we put it aside and finished up. Just getting to it and the rotor was locked. It was running when we shut it down but the varnish must have melted on to the rotor. All the strings on the stator windings were burnt. It's a Reliance motor but there is no ID on it for frame size, HP, RPM. What should I replace it with? Should I try to clean up the rotor/stator bore and see if it will work? The wires aren't melted or charred. What's a good source for motors? I have the latest Surplus Center catalog but not sure what I should get. This isn't going to be used a lot.
