Yes it would be a great motor. It appears to be brand new. This lathe is a 1986 model and the motor appears to be same. New from south bend. I have had this lathe for about 20 years or so. Just never had the time to really use it. until now. I did replace the spindle bearings with new when i got...
Allan and Jim, thank you both for your wonderful help. The motor is working perfectly. Forward and reverse. I could not wait to try out your idea, so I just ran wires to the switch and back to the new motor to check it out before I installed the new motor. Made my day as the old Century motor...
i am sorry, that was confusing. Red, yellow and blue exactly like you show only to the 3 outside terminals and the power coming in from wall with jumper to the 3 inside terminals.
I haven't had time to remove the old motor from lathe yet. The wife had chores for me but will start on that now...
Thank you again, allan, for staying with me on this. I have stared at it for so long myself that i was not sure of anything anymore. i will run new wires to switch that match the colors in your drawing so as to not get mixed up. Also, you have reassured me that i won't blow up my motor it would...
my reason for this is that the middle terminals are the off position and throwing switch to right or left is forward and reverse. i was thinking that if the power goes to outside poles then the switch would not make contact there for power on the other side when i turn switch to go the other...
Allan,
The way my switch is wired now for the other motor is the power is coming in from the center terminals and then to the motor on the outside terminals.
There is a jumper on the inside terminal i guess to bring power to the other terminal for L1 and T1.
Could i do mine the same way and...
This is a picture of the switch wired to the old Century motor on my lathe. unfortunately the Century wiring diagram is different from Baldor wiring and i am at a loss on how to wire new motor to this switch.
yes this is a new Baldor reversable motor. it says on the name plate what wires to reverse to get that. i just don't understand what wires to bring to the switch from motor and how to wire the switch.
I have a South Bend Heavy 10 lathe with a Kun Hung rotary drum switch that came new with the lathe. I purchased a new Baldor 1hp motor for the lathe but am having trouble figuring out how to wire motor to switch. I know there have been simular post but no one had the same wiring or switch as...
