Wired it up and the motor flamed out.Called the factory and they sent me a brabd new baldor 5hp motor.Said I still had 2 months warranty even though I was the 2nd owner.Probably my best CL find to date.

Reply:Wow, that's really going the extra mile for a customer, or Step- customer I guess!I think it'd be a good to have a sticky dedicated to these type of customer service wins. It's good to hear when you get great service and good to know the companies that give it.Nice score!200amp Air Liquide MIG, Hypertherm Plasma, Harris torches, Optrel helmet, Makita angle grinders, Pre-China Delta chop saw and belt sander, Miller leathers, shop made jigs etc, North- welders backpack.

Reply:I -da-no....but a new compressor that went to hell soon after it was plugged in would not land on my "Great find" list. The customer service you got was Great. but what if they said "to bad"   then what???
Reply:Maybe I should have bought a new one. If I had to have the motor rewound it is still a deal.
