Just looked in the manual, the 2001 and 508 use the same 6.5HP motor.
Huh, it said 7 in the spec sheet PDF that i have.
Nope, it's 6.5 as seen here:

Thanks for the information. I was considering retrofitting one to an SD-10 rotor and stator. I was just wondering if it would have enough umph to spin it.

A DC powered SD-10? That would be really cool!

It should be okay, since DC motors have more torque than AC motors.
