Here is a picture of the motor that I offer to loan you for the water pump
test.
It was not a USA motor but the good news is that it is really rated at 3 HP
22 amp max at 220 single phase 3450rpm - convertible to 110V but 44amps is a
bit
intimidating. I think the mount and all would be useable for a dedicated
(long term loan)
pump test driver. The motor is mounted vert as shown and can slide out to
tension the belt= presnt pullys for a bit under 3x step up driving a 1/2
inch shaft
for moulding blades. You could replace that quill with a pump mount (just do
not throw away any removed parts. The table top has concrete on the under
side to
add mass and damping, and you may feel free to drill and screw that
sturdy top for mounting things.

That looks like it will do the job Vance. What size motor shaft? Metric? Keyway I take it?
I'll probably have to buy some smaller pulleys for 2:1 drive but no big deal on those.
6900 pump RPM.

What does that sucker weigh? Can you and I lift it out of your truck into
my van? Can I borrow just the motor since I won't be using the rest of it?
