[TowerTalk] Leeson Washdown

[andy ronan]

Hi guys

Looks like the three year old motor on my Tashjian 70ft tower is going south (smoking like a burnt pizza).
It is a Leeson Washdown model C6C17WB1J 1/2 HP. Just wondering if anybody has replaced one with a slightly larger Hp (3/4) and if the mounting holes line up.
I dont wont to reinvent the wheel but would like a replacement drop in with a larger HP rating. Tower is only lifting a 4 el steppir and 2 el 40 with a 15ft 1/4 steel mast.

Thanks in advance
