Baldor Motor no good!

The 1HP Baldor motor I bought for $25 thru Craigslist (more info here) is shot for sure. There is/was a short in the wound wire and I left it at the repair shop for junk. I'm only out $30, but I need to find an "affordable" 3/4-1HP motor so I can do some larger pieces I have wood ready for. The $5 1/4HP motor I'm using now is doing just fine, but I can stall it with even very light cuts. The quest will continue......
