I have a 2hp Dayton (Grainger) model# 6K393N that has a missing capacitor, I pulled the covers to check them, and one side, the longer cover was empty, just the 2 wires. I'm hoping someone has one with that model # that would be kind enough to look to see what value the missing cap should be. There have to be 1000's of those out there, I got it in a deal a while back, & hadn't tried to use it till the other day, it didn't take long to find the problem, but now to find out what cap it takes.....

Hi, Both caps are missing? Google shows all kinds info about that motor.
that has a missing
I spent quite a bit of time googleing before resorting to begging for help, can you tell me where you found it. The other cap is there, it is a 16mfd
Grainger which distributes Dayton brand motors sells parts for many of the things in their inventory. I would try giving them a call.

Sounds like the 5 mfd. is the run capacitor and the 16 may be for 'Power Correction Factor'? As Tony Hwang mentions there should be info via Google.

I would expect the 16 mfd cap is a start capacitor.
Run capacitors are always in the circuit (start caps only while starting) so they are more substantial - don't use a 'start' capacitor.

Well, duh! That's the first thing *I* would have done. What's up with the Googling, emailing, etc? Just call their toll-free number. They can find all kinds of stuff for you (especially since it's actually one of their products).
