Motor Not Working

Do you have:

1. 120V AC, and wiring as at https://www.surpluscenter.com/Electrical/AC-Motors/AC-Motors-Face-Mount/1-2-HP-1725-RPM-115-208-230-Volt-AC-Farm-Duty-Motor-10-2939-A.axd 2. Do you know the power outlet works and is not tripping 3. Can you do a test - clip on another 120 AC device to your connected power leads to make sure you have power at the junction. Use a light bulb and it will light up. 4. Send me a picture of the inside of your junction box. 5. Are you running with the gearbox attached or without it? 6. Is there any sound or hum when you plug in the motor? Does it get hot?
