[SEL] Air compressor motors

[Mark Shulaw]

This motor is not suitable to replace the motor he has or he needs. The 
motor he needs is going to be in the $300-$400- price range. No exceptions 
unless its a cheap China motor. Because in reality the 5 hp motor he needs 
produces more HP then the 6 hp sold thru Harbor 
freight.               TTYL,  Mark
