Farm-Duty 2 HP Motor
The Dayton 6K313 is a single-phase, capacitor-start motor rated at 2 horsepower and 1740 rpm. It operates on 115/230 V power and uses a totally enclosed fan-cooled housing. This unit suits agricultural equipment, conveyors and pumps that need reliable torque in dusty or damp conditions.
Upgrade From Smaller Single-Phase Units
Replacing a 1 HP or 1.5 HP motor with this 2 HP model adds headroom for heavier loads without changing to three-phase supply. The jump is worth it when existing wiring is single-phase only and the driven machine regularly stalls or overheats under peak demand.
Handles Steady 2 HP Loads
At 1740 rpm the motor delivers full rated torque for continuous fan, blower or pump duty. It runs out of capacity if the application requires sustained overload beyond 2 HP, variable-speed control or three-phase efficiency gains.

Questions about this item
What frame size and mounting pattern does the 6K313 motor use for installation?
The 6K313 motor uses a standard NEMA frame with a rigid base mounting pattern. Verify the exact frame number on the nameplate to match your equipment's bolt-hole spacing and shaft height before purchasing.
How do I wire the 115/230V dual-voltage motor correctly for my supply voltage?
Open the conduit box and follow the wiring diagram on the nameplate. For 115V connect the leads in parallel; for 230V connect them in series. Ensure the capacitor leads remain attached to the start winding as shown.
When should I replace the start capacitor on this 2hp farm duty motor?
Replace the start capacitor if the motor hums but fails to reach 1740rpm, trips the overload repeatedly, or shows a bulging or leaking capacitor case. Use only the exact µF and voltage rating listed on the capacitor label.
