Are you able to post a photo or two?



I looked up US Electric R319 and could only find a listing for a 2 hp motor.

My comment about getting 80 lbs of wire was from a DC motor out of an older public transit vehicle. It was an English-made motor of about 125hp with odd-looking windings, where lots of wire hung out of the ends of the stator. It was 40lbs per end; I weighed them.

The motors you are talking about are probably nearly guaranteed not to be this juicy.

Big motors like you are talking about "shouldn't" be sealed...there are usually 4 bolts on each end bell to take them apart. But there's always the exception to the "normal" motor!!
