Reply To: Help identifying this old Sears Motor

[Bob Wight]

Ralph – in one of your pictures there is a number 601-7165 which is the motor ID number. The 601 represents the last 3 digits of the Elgin model number 571.58601 and the 7165 is the serial number of your motor. See if this link works – it is a listing of Elgin model numbers.
