Kinda confused because these pads have "wobble" to self adjust and makithe flush defeated this feature. I'd...

    Need help setting up the forward / reverse drum switch on my split phase motor

    Orange is T4. The furnas is different than the Dayton I installed. Your assumption on wiring sound good. But as I mentioned, I opted for the Dayton drum switch.

    Refurbishing a Logan 200 Lathe - start to finish progress

    Here is the wiring diagram I used to set-up my split phase motor (and after detaching the two wires from the back of the motor terminal I then had the needed 4 wires as per the diagram... it works perfectly!

    Help wiring single phase 110v motor to drum switch

    Thank you - I successfully completed attaching my drum switch using the attached wiring diagram (for split phase) and once I discovered that by detaching the two wires (that the back of the motor said to switch to change direction) I had the needed 4 wires as indicated in the diagram. I hope...

    Need help setting up the forward / reverse drum switch on my split phase motor

    The challenges keep coming as I discovered that the "Powr-Kraft" (Montgomery Wards) 1/4 HP 1725 RPM Split Phase motor that came with the lathe was missing the "drum switch" to allow forward and reverse. So I bought a Dayton (2X441A) drum switch, and see that my motor only has two wires, and the...

    Refurbishing a Logan 200 Lathe - start to finish progress

    Thanks, but after studying the switch and reading way too much about split phase motors, I'm confident I figured out how to wire this set up. Now I've been testing the best way to scrap off the cardboard where the paint dried... Lives looks like box cutters will work

    That is great advise (too late now) but I am going to file off the card board and will use saran wrap of needed on areas that touch. Man this is hard paint!
