Startrite TA175 - original motor specs?

[Deadeye]

Hi
Has anyone got a TA175 and can read the original (240V) motor plate? I've looked at the manual - 1.5HP - but doesn't say how many poles. Also I assume it's cap/cap?

And where can I get a reasonably priced replacement?!

Thanks!

It’s 2 pole cap start, cap run, ie two caps required. I usually fit a 2.2KW, 2 pole (3000RPM), 90L frame foot mount (B3) motor into them. It just fits and gives it a lovely smooth cut with plenty of power. However it needs a 16A supply. I’d try Engineers Mate for motors. I’ve fitted a lot of motors both for commercial, and hobby use and never had any issues with TEC.
