1 HP Farm-Duty Motor
The Dayton 6K727 is a single-phase AC motor rated at 1 horsepower for agricultural and industrial tasks. It operates on 115/230 volt supply and turns at 1725 RPM. A capacitor-start design provides strong starting torque for heavy loads. The totally enclosed fan-cooled construction protects windings from dust and moisture.
Capacitor-Start Upgrade
This motor replaces split-phase or shaded-pole units that lack the torque to start under load. The capacitor-start winding delivers a decisive torque boost at startup, reducing stall risk on conveyors, augers and pumps. The jump is worth it when the driven equipment demands high breakaway torque or frequent starts. Single-phase wiring keeps installation simple on standard farm circuits.
1 HP Continuous Headroom
At 1 HP the motor comfortably handles typical feed augers, ventilation fans and small water pumps. Continuous duty rating means it can run for extended periods without overheating. Headroom diminishes when voltage drops below 115 volts or when ambient temperatures exceed the enclosure rating. The motor runs out of capacity for larger grain dryers or multi-stage compressors that exceed the 1 HP rating.

Questions about this item
What shaft diameter and mounting pattern does the 6K727 motor use for farm equipment?
The motor has a 5/8 inch diameter shaft and standard 4‑bolt foot pattern for farm‑duty mounting.
How do I wire the dual‑voltage 115/230 V capacitor‑start motor, and what step is often missed?
Connect the leads for 115 V or 230 V as shown on the nameplate diagram, then secure the capacitor cover; the step often missed is changing the internal jumper links to match the supply voltage.
Which parts of the TEFC farm‑duty motor need periodic inspection or replacement?
Inspect the capacitor, centrifugal switch, bearings and fan cover periodically; replace the capacitor or bearings when they show wear or noise.
