Default Motor required

Seasons greetings to everyone.

The motor on my old Wilson lathe has just gone kaput so just wondering whether anyone might have something that would suit as a replacement.

It is a big old 3hp 3 phase thing but as I am using a converter with it then I could fit a single phase in its place. Even 2hp should be ok as nothing seems to trouble the lathe and it has a clutch so starting is no problem.

The present motor is foot mounted and from base of foot to centre of shaft is 120mm and the shaft is 1" dia. Plenty of room to fit it though so practically any size should do.

Thanks for looking.

Keith.
