Frame Size for motor on DJ-30 jointer?

[Peter Quinn]

Anyone out there know the NEMA frame number and shaft size for the 3HP/ Single Phase motor on a DJ-30? Looking for a replacement, the delta motor is of course $28million and has a 43 1/2 week lead time, so that wont do. Looks like a basic nema frame from a quick glance. Shot in dark that a creakier might actually have had to replace on? Thanks.

I'm also hoping someone has an answer, despite the years gone by since the original post.

Maybe this might work: If no one comes forward.......think backwards. Measure up everything else besides the motor (if you don't have it). Measure the plate which the motor bolts onto, the inner diameter which the pulley slips on, position of the pulley from the plate, etc., etc...... and come up with the best frame size from the NEMA chart.
