I've just picked up an almost free Craftsman Table saw. I haven't found a model number on it yet but doing a google image search looks like it's a model 113.29903. Its bone stock with the exception of the motor. The last owner thought the motor was bad so he replaced it with what looks like a 1/3 hp washing machine motor. He was unable to get the motor pulley mounted correctly and gave up - that's how I got it. Since the original motor was ~1 hp I'm guessing that a 1/3 hp probably isn't going to work all that well and I don't want to spend the time rigging up a motor pulley when I know the motor is no bueno. I know this is a pretty common saw so was wondering if anyone on here has ever replaced their motor and what frame size, voltage, and hp they used? I'm probably not going to buy new if I can help it since it looks like most motors will exceed the resale value of the saw - I see newer versions of these saws for sale a lot in the sub $200 dollar range.
It's also got the stock fence on it, which is think will be the second thing I replace.
