Use for AC fan motor
Hi Again,
I recently replaced the fan motor on the AC unit.
I think the old motor will still work, but does anybody know of any uses for an old 220 motor?

Not much. Little torque. Why did you replace it? That will clue you in on its possible uses. If it was slow or had a burning smell, then it may be bad bearings or bad capacitor.

my granddaddy used to hook up old motors on his workbench to grinder discs and rotary wirebrushes, etc. I recall several exposed v-belts and pulleys. Looked like a good way for a kid 
to loose an arm if you didn't watch out for the moving parts.
