Suitable Motor?

Wow you got it down to a 't'. Epoxied :D
    Thanks alot.

Well...

If it had bearings...
Why wouldn't it be good to seperate and reconnect the windings (coils)?
Kind of sounds like a motor with a centrifugal mechanism that engages and disingages the start winding is bad.  Why?  Looks easy to go around it.
I have a bunch of 1/4 hp Maytags. Old. Bearings. One speed. Ringer washer (now thats 'old') motor take-offs. Centrifugal mechanism for the starts. About 15 pounds (?). Heavy coil wire.

What is the problem?  I didn't see it.
Too late for these. Some of the armatures are at the machinist.

Ghurd!
some of the old ringer washer motors would be a good choice. hopefully they have ball bearings too. i was actually refering to the newer style of "junk" motors that are welded or epoxied together. these are the ones i would consider no good for conversion. on the other hand, yes they could be, but your efforts would be better rewarded using a quality motor to start with.
