Ken,
Yes that is the original motor. (1-1/2 HP 3-phase)
It's a smaller mill (8x36) so that just makes the motor look bigger.
I would have loved to have gotten one of your "old beaters" but they are just a few inches too tall for the headroom I have. And quite a bit heavier as well. I would have liked to have a head that nods, but that is only available on the larger models. Still, for a cramped home shop it does what I need it to do.
I agree with Ed. You got a heck of a deal from your friend for that machine.
