Old Boulder Industrial Motor - Parts Manual

[oneblondejohn]

Old Bolder Industrial Motor 3HP: Spec 35Eo6X515, Name 145TCF283.

Can anyone direct me to where I could find a parts manual? It is no longer under production.

Two misspellings, Boulder and Bolder ... company is Baldor. That's apparently an OEM special since current 3hp 2 pole GP from them are a 182 frame. I'd try the (air compressor?) manufacturer.

But what parts? Bearings are probably the only replaceable parts, and are USUALLY identified on the nameplate.

If he has a "Boulder" motor, it's not at all surprising he can't find a manual.

... Bearings are probably the only replaceable parts, and are USUALLY identified on the nameplate.

Not to mention that ball & roller bearings are a bulk commodity item, which only need to be measured to be identified. (unless there's some sort of special service involved) The Irish method (O'Deeze) is also effective.

Parts manuals for old motors are typically only available to motor rewind shops, if at all, and as said, would only be useful to identify bearings. Most parts, if available at all, would be something standard and available without a parts manual anyway. But to be honest, motors this small generally cost more to repair than they cost to replace now.

That said, I am closing this thread, in accordance with the Forum Rules.
