We had some old 20hp 480v3p vertical Allis Chalmers motors at one of old facilities. Looked like mushrooms. had a 25ft long drive shaft down to a submersible pump. I should have grabbed one when we demo'd the place but was too busy liberating a 540cid LeRoi nat gas motor. :dance:

What's the HP on that beastie?

But I am not surprised. A lot of the pre-war companies built everything they needed or could turn a profit on.

That is a beast.  Man we used to build some nice stuff here. 

HP is likely less then you would think for its size.

AC was also into mechanical/electrical control. A couple years ago we tore a bunch or AC switch gear out of a plant that was still in service after 47 years.

If I remember correctly the last remaining part of the original AC was just bought up a few years ago, it still had the AC name and worked in oil field supply/off shore.

It amazes me that IH built as many appliances as they did, and John Deere sold bicycles.

I have a Kalmar AC forklift and it is great.  Upgraded from a 1958 Yale so features like side shift, brakes and power steering are appreciated :))

I scrapped an old motor last spring that looked much like that and as far as I knew ran just fine. It just had to go, no time to dicker and I needed the room. I felt so bad scrapping it I tell ya.
