Farm Duty Motor: 3/4, 1,725, 115/230V AC, K56, Manual, 1.15 Motor Service Factor, Keyed

General purpose farm-duty motors are three-phase and don’t require starting capacitors, run capacitors, or centrifugal starting switches that can wear out and fail. They operate with a higher torque and greater efficiency than single-phase models of the same HP, rpm, and frame size. Motors are commonly used for augers, air compressors, conveyors, pumps, and other farm equipment. They have enclosures that help protect them from moisture, but they are not airtight or waterproof.
