Motor required

[Kaycee]

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.

Why oh why did you not ask about 4 weeks ago as i have just weighed in a 2HP 3ph motor that was foot mounted, i had advertised it and had no takers and i had got fed up of looking at it.
On reflection i do have another 2hp 3ph motor that was going to go on my 16" Southbend but i have since aquired another which will fit better.
£25 collect from Rugby Warwickshire.

Keith, I have a NEWMAN motor which is only 1 HP but it used to drive a milking plant. If it is of use to you then £25 gets it, plus I am only an hour from you, however if not then no worries.

Hi Phil/Peter,

Many thanks for the replies.

I think I have now got one sorted locally though, just need to go check that it is ok.

Kind regards,

Keith.
