I tried them, the cost is way out of my league. Looking at one though for about 1/3 the cost, even with shipping, same make , model and manufacturer.

Ok just so we are all straight.. Induction motors don't use resistors to change the speed. Look all you want and you will not find one. testing a cap for voltage won't help either. you need to be testing for micro farads. the symbol looks like "uF"
OP. It sounds like the motor is bad. If you have a Locke supply then they are going to be your best bet on in stock and price. make sure the voltage speed and shaft are right. depending on the way it mounts to the cage you might also need an bracket if you can not re-use the one you currently have. Unless the cap is new go ahead and replace it also and keep the old one as a spare ( if it is the right size and is known to be good)
Edit to add.
If the squirrel cage does not come off the shaft easily don't just beat on it to get it off. It is real easy to get it all screwed up

Get your new motor and like tyro said dont tear up the shaft, use kroil or wd40 then sandpaper, it will come off like butter, sometimes! Remember where all the wires go and your golden, some new motors use the yellow wire for neutral, most of the time it's white, good luck!
I didnt say they would bulge , it was a quote.
an no it doesnt read mfd
and yea a capicator holds a charge
but then I just inspect the stoopid stuff You have done 100 times...probably wrong
Why you on my case ..one more time ??
I am near Ponca City, went to Lockes and it was a bust, said they could not even order one. Found a place that has just the exact one I need.
Oh I have it all apart, the cage came right off like it was new. One ground wire and one plug is all it took to dismantle. That and a total of 10 screws.
Thanks to all of you for the help, should have it in my hands on the 14th.
Now I just gots to keep all my sweetness frm melting until then.
Other things aside, the old capacitor would not hold a charge, zippo, notta, nuttin'. Not going to check the new one with my fingers.

WoW. Im surprised that Lock didn't have anything but then again Ive never been to the one in ponca city. Let us know if you need any more help when you get the motor.

Glad you figured it out , too bad itll be a couple days... 8/
Guess this latest heat spell is killing capacitors, had to replace one in our main unit Tuesday. Went to Locke (Yukon) because it was right down the street from work, they didn't have the size I needed, not to mention they would have wanted $60 for a 80x7.5 440v cap!!! OMG, no way would I have paid that, even if they had it in stock. Ended up driving to Carrier Enterprises off of MacArthur and got one for $22.
