Main Drive Motor – Installation / Fitment Guide
Guaranteed Compatibility
Correct replacement for any Taylor® soft serve machine that uses a single-phase, 1.5 HP main drive motor, including: C713-27, 791-27, 794-27, 754-27 (see below compatibility). If your machine uses a 1.5 HP single-phase motor, this motor fits.
Fitment Expectation
- The motor body is slightly longer due to a more efficient, heavy-duty design.
- The bolt holes line up exactly with the frame. No drilling, cutting, or shimming.
- Uses the same belt and pulley as the removed motor.
- Mounting plate shape may look different from the old unit—that’s normal.
Electrical Wiring – Quick Connect
- Motor ships with a color-coded quick-connect harness attached.
- Strip the wires from the machine and match them to the connector by color.
- No diagrams, no guessing, and no chance of mixing up leads.
C713 Clearance Note
- On some C713 machines, the refrigeration suction line sits close to the motor body.
- If needed, gently move the copper line by hand about ½" to create clearance (no tools required).
Why Someone Might Think “It Doesn’t Fit”
- The motor is slightly longer than the removed unit.
- The mounting plate looks different from prior supplier versions.
- Taylor has used multiple motor suppliers over the years, so appearances vary.
- If the removed motor was 1.5 HP single-phase, this is the correct replacement.
Quick Install Steps
- Disconnect power to the machine.
- Loosen and remove the motor bolts; remove the old motor.
- Swap pulley to the new motor (if needed).
- Bolt the new motor in place using the original bolt holes.
- Strip the machine wires and insert into the color-coded connector; plug connectors together.
- Install the belt and set proper tension.
