- Not familiar with the GE motor numbers. You need to determine
if it is single or three phase first. Many motors have a diagram
on the case.
- I bought that kit and used it to rebuild a 9A. The book is
really well done. It will be a big help. The felts fit as they
should.
- I used the Sherwin-Williams mix and was not impressed. It
looked to me almost identical to the Rust-oleum oil based Smoke
Gray that I used on another machine. I admit to being a bad
judge of color. I have read, but cannot say with certainty, that
there is no proper SBL gray because of variations year to year.
I can say that I have seen multiple SBL models that were
supposedly sporting original paint and looked different. One
unanswered question for me is how age affects the original color
of 80 year old paint and if you color match old paint are you
really matching the original color?

I just bought my first lathe (9" 744 A 167045) and I have some
questions. It is covered with surface rust, and the motor has been
disconnected.
1) Does anyone have a wiring diagram to connect the motor (GE
5kc63ab776) to the barrel switch and a power cord?
2) Is the ILION rebuild kit and "Guide to Renovating" (Amazon $80)
the way I should proceed?
3) What gray (It was originally gray right?) brush-able paint
would you recommend?
Thanks in advance,
