Itsmoked - you are correct. Well I'll start looking for a foot mount version. Baldor can't be the only pony in the race, I'll start looking for other 1725rpm 3/4hp 56 odp. Thanks for the input, you saved me from some wife aggro after rigging up the wrong thing.
I'm more of a computer enginerd, not sure of the correct terminology for some of the mounts on an electric motor. Figured I better ask the right kind of engineer before I tinker.
I'm planning to order a more efficient motor for my swamp cooler, measure the difference from the old then maybe do...
