I agree with atomarc, Other than Baldor NOW!..if you can score an Older one(10 yrs or better) got for it, But in the last 5 yrs I have been kicked in the face so many times by Baldor junk motors they are currently puttin out, I would NOT buy just by there Brand name (I am a maint. Supervisor).
A time ago back in the early 90's I woulda SWORNE buy Baldor, but since the millenium, there quality has went down hill BAD,
I cant count how many NEW motors ..Baldor produced have failed
in the last yr. prematureally.
Just givin a heads up.
