Farm-Duty Motor Overview
The Dayton 6K710 is a capacitor-start, totally enclosed fan-cooled motor rated at 1/3 HP and 1725 RPM nameplate speed. It operates on 115/230 V single-phase power at 60 Hz and fits a NEMA 56 frame. The unit is built for agricultural and industrial equipment requiring reliable torque.
Build Integration
The rigid base mounting and 5/8-inch shaft diameter allow direct coupling to pumps, fans, or gearboxes without adapter plates. Manual thermal protection and Class B insulation protect windings during overload, while the 1.15 service factor absorbs intermittent load spikes. Ball bearings and a rolled-steel frame reduce maintenance intervals.
Capacity and Headroom
At full load the motor draws 6.6 amps at 115 V or 3.3 amps at 230 V, providing ample headroom for typical farm-duty cycles within a 40 °C ambient limit. It is not suited for applications demanding higher horsepower, three-phase supply, or continuous operation above the nameplate rating.

Questions about this item
How long can the 1/3 HP motor run continuously before the manual thermal protection trips at 40 °C ambient?
The motor carries a 1.15 service factor and manual thermal protection; sustained full-load operation at 40 °C will eventually cause the protector to open, requiring a manual reset.
What is the noise and heat output of the totally enclosed fan-cooled 56-frame motor when running all day at 1725 RPM?
The TEFC design uses an internal fan for cooling; expect typical industrial motor noise and a frame temperature rise within Class B insulation limits at 40 °C ambient.
Which mounting hardware and voltage supply must I already have to install this 115/230 V rigid-base motor?
You need a 56-frame rigid base mounting pattern, a 5/8 in. shaft coupling, and a single-phase 115 V or 230 V, 60 Hz supply wired for the selected voltage.
