I currently have an old Delta 3/4 hp, 1725 rpm motor that appears to be original. Is the frame structure strong enough to run a 1-1/2 hp motor, 3450 rpm motor? I realise I will have reduce the motor pulley to maintain blade speed.
My main concern is rigidity of the frame. I have a newer 14" Delta X5 that has a 1-1/2 / 2.0 hp motor rated at 14 amps. The frame appears to be the same. Thoughts?
Thanks
Gilbert
