    I see that tie getting caught in the turn table and as his face gets pulled into the machine that can of black carborundum that is balancing on the work tray will go flying. The wifey will get those stains out of the dress shirt for sure.

    Missing wires on a 3hp motor

    Yes, 4 wires coming out, T1 going to one terminal of the thermal breaker. Is it safe to assume the snipped off lead on the other side of the thermal breaker would have been P1?

    Missing wires on a 3hp motor

    I will be powering it with 240v, the diagram shows T5 wired with T4 for CCW which is what I need. Everything does match up except for the missing P1. Here are the leads coming out of the motor,
