Compressor Motor,
July 20, 2009
By FlyDiver
from Western WA
"Motor drives a 2 cylinder air compressor mounted on a 20 gal. tank. It has now been running on a daily basis for more than a year. Motor runs cool and flawlessly. Installation instructions were easy to apply and the 220v installation was straightforward and worked the first time."

Quality!,

from Pauline,SC
"I had previuosly bought a cheaper GE motor from another store that did not work. I took it back and recieved another only to have it go out less than two months later. I bought the Leeson motor six months ago and it is still going strong.I was so paranoid after the GE motors, I decided to test the Leeson by turning off the compressor at almost restart pressure and imediately turning it back on so it did not have time to unload the back pressure. The leeson fired up again with no apparent strain! Thats heavy duty!"

Dependable motor,

"I installed this five HP motor on my compressor about a year ago and have been completely satisfied with its performance. I use it mostly for sand blasting parts in a blast cabinet. I use it a few nights a week for up to three hours a night. The compressor runs the entire time.
This is a very durable motor."

Great replacement motor,

By Inagarage
from Houston, TX
"I have replaced three compressor motors with this one from Leeson. So far over three years trouble free service on the oldest unit.
High starting torque, and true 5 hp motor."
