Re: First lathe rebuild questions

I couldn’t find his original post, I must have deleted it, so I tagged Mike’s post as he mentioned the motor. That should be a ? hp single phase, instant reverse motor with a relay. The wiring depends on which drum switch you have. Either a Furnas 789 or a Cutler Hammer 790. Attached link to both below: wswells.com/download/GE-KC-with-relay-5-wire.jpg ? Steve ?

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?

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,
