RE: Motor size?
If it is running happily in an application just measure the current, make a power factor estimate and do the math.
If it is sitting on the ground in front of you... You will have a much bigger problem.
What have you got?

RE: Motor size?
If the unit is built to standard. Shaft measurement will do, mounting dimension you'll then find the FRAME # but it's just an approximation.
Better to run the machine and test it as itsmoked said.
