Electric motor help

Where did it come from? History.

I have no recollection but I think I kept it to make a powered meat grinder.

Here’s the problem.

Black white green =120V
Black red white =240V single phase

At this point, if it were ME (and I’m not suggesting you do this)…..I’d wire a 120V plug to the end, plug it in to an extension cord I’ve stretched outside my garage and see what happens. It’s not like it’s going to go off like a bomb. Worst that would likely happen is you let the magic smoke out and you end up tossing it in the trash.

Edit: Looking at that nameplate you could probably fill it with paint or something similar to see what it says.

It’s a sticker plate and a marker didn’t work at all.
Edit… I plugged it in 110 outlet and it ran fine at a whopping 7.25 rpm for 3 minutes straight without getting hot.

I bet it has some torque!

That is a 120 volt single phase eccentric motor.
No such thing as a phased DC motor.
Single phase 220 would have an additional leg for power.
The end plate shows that it's geared.
Take the end plate off for a faster but less torque motor.
Should work fine for your grinder if you can mount.

If you toss it in the trash you’ll be needing it within a couple of months.

I concur

120V
High torque
Low RPM

Perfect for a meat grinder

No difference in the way it spins. Had to use vise grips both ways.

That is certainly a gear driven shaft with that low of an RPM. I'd also look at using it for an outdoor rotisserie at a fire pit.
I have one similar and there isn't much better eating than a chicken or pork butt cooked over an open fire while rolling all the marinades around and around.
