It has been about 40 years since I was around any kind of cream separator. I have never been around a McCormick-Deering one. If it is spinning too slow I would think that you would be getting a lot of cream in the milk output. If too fast then you would be getting milk in the cream. I remember on our separator that it was important to get all of the disks in the right order. Thicker ones on the bottom and thinner ones to the top. If the motor is running properly there is only one speed that it can run. If the drive and driven pulleys are the right size then the bowl should spin at the correct speed. The most likely speeds of the motor is in the neighborhood of 3600 rpm or 1800 rpm. The actual speed will be a little less than this due to the operating principles of an induction motor. If the motor is ok then it should not get warm/hot to the touch after running it for a prolonged period of time. If there is a problem with the windings then it would be highly likely that the motor would be getting hot.
