✅ SOLVED Weird Machine ID

[Nathan6309]

Found this weird motor attached to what looks like a stand. I found this in a public park that used to be a racetrack, so I have absolutely no idea what it is. It had some identifying tags on it, but I still can’t make anything of it. Any help identifying this would be greatly appreciated.

Some type of submersible pump?

Broken sump pump

Yep. Looks like that’s it. What exactly would these things be used for?

Some history:
Sta-Rite was founded in 1934 in Delavan, Wisconsin (USA) by William C Heath, then President of the A.O. Smith Corporation. From the beginning, Heath was driven to produce pumps “built right to stay right” – which, of course, led to the Sta-Rite name. Heath’s success with Jets & Centrifugals in the early years led the company to quickly expand into 4” submersible pumps & motors. In 2004, Sta-Rite was acquired by Pentair. Today, Pentair Sta-Rite sells a wide range of pumps, motors, tanks, controls, and accessories in over 100 countries around the world.
You may wish to contact the company today for information regarding your find.
