table saw kicks reset

I purchased a craftsman table saw 10" with 2 non working motors, one has a locked up bearing on the end the other seemed fine, I can turn it with my hand I put it in the table and it runs for 5-6 seconds and kicks the reset switch. wondering if i need to find a new motor or a reset switch?

Probably not the reset switch bad.

More likely a defective start capacitor, run capacitor and even more likely is a stuck centrifugal start switch. That switch can be found in the end cap of the motor.... if that motor uses it.
