Hitachi capacitor leaking

[GLfisherman]

Hi,

Needs some help.  The capacitor on my Rex sewing machine motor is leaking.  I need to replace it.  Unfortunately the nonminclatur on capacitor is missing.

Motor plate reeds:

Hitachi 1/3 hp clutch motor

Amps 3.7

60 cycle

110 volts

Sn E683758

Cap 16F

Model x

 

I am assuming this if 16 microfard capacitor..

I am thinking it is a run capacitor.

 Does that sound correct?  Any suggestions on where to purchase capacitor?

 

Thanks for any help

I would buy this 5-pack of capacitors:

Link to Amazon

And then use 3 in parallel.

Too risky for what that old motor is worth.
