I finally got a chance to put the motor on the scale and see it's real weight. It came in at 765 pounds. Not as big as I thought, but not a small one either. I dropped it off at the rebuild shop yesterday and The rebuild shop just tested it and the unit runs! They're going to clean it, replace the bearings (they are slightly worn out), and repaint the unit for $400. They also have a buyer for the unit already! I have to negotiate out the details on the shipping (buyer is in Idaho), but I would call this experiment a success so far.
Current investment: $520
