Reply To: Help identifying this old Sears Motor

Ralph,
In one of your pictures, there is a number #601-7165 which is the motor ID number. The 601 digits represent the last 3 numbers of the Elgin model number 571.58601 and the 7165 is the serial number of your motor. See if this link works – it gives a listing of Elgin models:
