HELP,- I Need Powermatic 72-A Baldor motor information

[William Cummins]

Hello I need some information about the motors Powermatic used on their model 72-a 14" Tablesaws. I'm trying to get the spec# information off the motor tag found on a Baldor VM3616P 7.5 HP motor. I was incorrectly informed that they were 184TC motors and I have now found out that they are really 184C frame and I need to see if I can order the end bell from Baldor to convert mine.... Thanks William.....

Here's some info that might help determine the frame.

Kind of curious, but you -have- 184TC a motor and it wont mount to the table saw? I thought the "T" was a designation to say it's an 'old frame' standard.
