Do you have the horizontal or vertical countershaft?? On my 10F I have a horizontal countershaft and I do not have that plate.? To me that looks like an adapter that somebody made because their motor didn't fit the stock bracket.? My motor also doesn't fit the stock motor bracket properly either, but some previous?owner of my lathe drilled/enlarged a couple of holes to make it work and this setup has been working for me without any issues.? It shouldn't?matter too much how you mount it as long as your motor pulley is more or less inline?with the countershaft pulley and you can get?the belt properly tensioned.
I made ?about cleaning up my countershaft/motor assembly.? There are several photos there showing how my motor mounted to the bracket (you'll have to expand the spoiler sections to see the?images).

Todays task was to measure up for the bolts to mount the motor to the lathe but? there is this plate bolted to the bottom of the motor and its unclear if its supposed to be there.? Either way the bolts dont seem to line up with the bracket on the lathe.? Is this second plate supposed to be there
