So a little more detail. I got a quote from the local electric supply shop and it turns out this saw is older then I thought. The frame for the old motor (204) according to the dealer stopped being standard in 1952 and produced at all in 64. He did find a Baldor 2hp motor for 596.00 plus tax and shippinp, I will have to get a new pulley and add a plate under it as the new motor is .5 inches shorter then the old one.
The dealer also recommended against a VFD as that old of a motor will run hotter and burn up. He could provide one for 400
Does this all sound correct? For reference this is the old motor
Phase: 3
Voltage: 220/440
Frame: 204
RPM: 1730
Amperage: 4.43/2.22
It is a General Electric model 5K204D24
This is the quoted new motor. About 100 cheaper then quoted

This is the VFD (quite a bit cheaper then the quote)
