Hi Guys.

              Is there any Delta buffs out there..One of my Delta 2 speed motors has died.

I have picked up a motor on fleabay.It has same speeds but there are to many wires.

The dead motor has two looms with red..black3..white6..the other haswhite4..black1..earth.

The replacement has 2 looms   blue ..earth..white..brown..black.the other has  blue..white.. black and brown...It also has a bulge on side of motor.

does anyone know if it is possible to use this motor,or what model it is off so i can put it back on fleabay.

Thanks very much in anticipation  Jim

I'll bet the two looms are for 110 volt and 220  is my guess.Yours with less wires is 110 is my guess

There should be a plate on the motor with the wiring hook up. If not Google the number on the motor and you should be able to get it there.

I worked in a motor manufacturing plant for 28 years and unless you have a schematic all you can do is guess if you combine any of these wires togather be syre and check them all out with an ohm meter  you should get no reading if you do and run it that way ;you will short out the motor . if you know the company yu mignt be able to find out other wise lots of luck.

Your best bet is to buy a new motor from Delta Some times you are better off buying a new saw depending on the age of the saw.

Jim, most electricians would answer any questions you have regarding this motor, that's who I would be asking. You must know an electrician or two, maybe even a electric motor repair shop. It usually doesn't cost anything to ask them a few questions, and you never know, they might have an answer for you.
