Crossle Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) So, after going through this new garage I can across this electric motor. I can't find anything specifically about it at all. Here is what the plaque says on it. Packard Cycles Model S7873 115V 60 Cycles 1140/1725 RPM Part # 21038 6.8Amps Code 9 59 Type SB16V Packard Electric Division - G.M.C Warren, Ohio SO, I know that Packard Electric Division was created by General Motors, which would eventually become Packard-Delphi, which would become Delphi. They produced electrical components for GM's assembly line. I can't find anything about this particular motor, when it was built, what it's worth, what it went to, nothing. I ASSUME it was V-Belt driven based on the pulley on the nose, but other than that I dunno. http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z39/crossle_sean/DSC02612.jpg http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z39/crossle_sean/DSC02614.jpg Edited October 15, 2011 by Crossle Pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 It runs on house current. So maybe a dryer motor or vacuum? Not sure about the size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossle Posted October 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Roughly 11" from nose of the shaft to the rear of the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 looks like a fan motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig71188 Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 looks like a fan motor. Given the age of the furnace in the house - this looks like a good guess as to where it came from... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
