Identifying old pool pump motor - w pics

[robmaxfli]

Hi All,

Trying to find a replacement pump motor but the info on my pump stickers has faded away - well most of it. I have narrowed it down to Century Centurion or Sta-Rite...I think..
I was hoping that someone could identify the make and model if I posted some pics.

thanks!

That is a Sta-Rite Duraglas Pump, with a Square Flange motor. The best way to identify the motor you need is by taking the impeller off and seeing what the part no. stamped on is. Sta-Rite Dura-Glas and Max-E-Glas Parts - INYOPools.com

thanks- The replacements don't seem to have the Capacitor mounted on top like my original - does this matter?

Does not matter. That motor is still available but most have changed and put the capacitor inside the rear cover. This makes the pump slightly longer than the one you have so make sure you have room between the pump and the wall.
