Any interest in the 10HP 3ph motor from a ca. 2001 13.5cfm Bauer compressor? It's the original Toshiba motor that came with the compressor. Compressor has a total of about 3700 hours on it, but a part of that time was spent with a 1ph motor running it (which is what I have it running on now).

Ran perfectly before I converted it - was set up to run on 480v, but can also run on 230/208v with the usual wiring changes.

I'm located near Baltimore, MD (USA) (about an hour away actually). I doubt it's worth shipping, nor do I want to deal with that for something that can probably be had locally whatever that means to you
🙂
I will also be up at Beneath The Sea in March (New Jersey).

Cash and carry (maybe 'carry' isn't the right word here...this thing is heavy!)
No sheave, but does have the mounting plate. For the right price and an easy deal, I'll throw in the contactor/overload too!

$300? Open to offers?

Travis, I may be interested. What’s that bad boy weigh? And how close to Bowie are you?

Steve, I'm like an hour from Bowie. If you're worried about transporting it, I could probably be convinced to drive it down there. It weighs a f^@($#$ lot, but two people can move it. I managed to lift the 1ph variant into my truck by myself, I haven't tried the 3ph to see if it's over my limit. Worse case on my end I use the front-end loader on my tractor to pick it up.

the 3ph will be lighter for reference, 10hp fast motors like that are usually around 120lbs, similar to a set of filled double 104's. Not light by any means, but not egregious. Will be 10-20lbs lighter than the 1ph
 
Good to know! when I swapped motors out I used some simple machines and a handy ceiling joist to lift the 3ph off the compressor frame to minimize chances of dropping it on something expensive.

And I appreciate the reminder on why I've avoided getting into diving doubles so far in my diving career...
