So I found a place that will reproduce this badge - $45 for the 3 color printed badge on metal and another $25 for etching the data plate info. That's a lot but not outrageous. The other option would be to use the old date plate and put a water slide decal over it. Any thoughts?

So I'm thinking about motor clean up and as you probably saw upthread my motor tag is in rough shape
When I compare to this from vintage machinery there seem to be color differences
However it might very well be that the differences are just old age/dirt/grime/corrosion. So tell me what...
Thanks Bill - good points and you may have me changing my mind :)
Dundeeshopnut - these bearing don't feel very good but it may be they just need cleaned and regreased but the motor is all apart ad the bearings are going to be under $20 - why not replace them?

Bill - thanks for the hearing info. I got the fan side of the motor disassembled this afternoon. Not much different than the other end - a couple of wavy washers and a thin flat washer. Only one retaining wife at the outsides of the bearing. Bearing was another 6204. I'm pretty sure I'm not...
The bearing is out on one end. This thread https://owwm.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=220578&p=1577130&hilit=Walker+Turner+motor+Bearing+Removal#p1577130 on OWWM was my inspiration although I varied it a bit. The overall anatomy of the end bell is that the bearing is a 6204 with shield on one side and...
Bill D - are you talking about motor bearings or spindle bearings? I know the spindle bearings on the previous 1100 machine I had were proprietary - not sure if motor bearings were the same. I suspect the motors were re-branded for WT.

Thanks - I appreciate your comments. Can you suggest some hints for the inexperienced :). Not sure how to get that wire out - it is a pretty strong wire and there isn't anywhere to grab it. Is it just a case of getting something underneath it and prying?
Second - assuming I can get the wire...
I took a closer look and I think they are an open bearing on one side and shield on the other. I guess the 6204 is a dimensional specification and does not define open, shields, seals. I put a dental pick in the opening and I can feel it drop between the bearing balls.
So now the question of...
OK - Motor bearings. These appear to be sealed ball bearings marked SKF 6204 but there were filled with grease; There is an access hole in the end bell that has a small screw
and there also appears to be a space between the outside cover and the bearing where greased from that hole might go...
I stopped at auto zone today and they had a 7 ton 3 jaw puller (could be converted to a 2 jaw) in their loan program. It had longer arms than my puny one so I thought I would give it a try. Arms still not long enough to reach the bearing splitter on the only step it actually fit. So I took...
