I have no idea what I have purchased. Can anyone help me figure out what I have, and if I should scrap it or sell it?

Looks like some kind of an Allis Chalmers motor connected to something like a pump (can't see it from here ) Probably used in some kind of power plant or other process piping system.

Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.
From listening comes wisdom and from speaking comes repentance. Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise. |

Don't know, but it looks darn cool. Be a shame to scrap it.

To me it appears to be a three phase generator, the giveaway is the three phase wiring from the rotor center and the brush assembly feeding the stator. Most motors were not open framed but generators were. Could have been from a phase converter plant the used 25 cycle AC to make 60 cycle AC or vise versa or even to change voltage from one source to a user level. Would have had a motor/engine/turbine connected to the greasy shaft end.
