Re: Dreaded crack sound
I'm betting it would be a LOT cheaper to make your own from some mild steel. Don't see one on ebay right now, but there's a photo of the clamp plate in this complete tailstock:??https://www.ebay.com/itm/156345978749? You don't have to copy it exactly, either.? A flat plate with a bit of? all thread located in? should let you use your tailstock.? If you're a collector rather than a machine tool user, it would at least let you display the thing while you search for the right parts.? Might also ask Clausing if they have the part? If not they'll often release the drawing. There are several threads here that give contact info for them.? Bill in OKC? William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.) Aphorisms to live by: Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.? SEMPER GUMBY! Physics doesn't care about your schedule. The only reason I know anything is because I've done it wrong enough times to START to know better. Expect in one hand, expectorate in the other. See which one gets full first.

I posted this on the 618 group a couple of days ago with minimal responses. Posting here since I think the group is bigger and more active.
----- In electronics you have the magic smoke, with cast iron you have the magic crack sound. Anybody know where I can find a bottom tailstock M6-7 replacement for a 618? Fleabay didn't turn up anything. I could mill one, but I'd really like to keep it original. Allen

Re: trying to attach the motor to my 10f
I've run into plates like that on several motors. It's probably a bodged up effort to make a newer (or older) motor fit a mounting bracket from a different generation of equipment.? My Atlas TH42 matches the older motor that came with it just fine. My lathe is from 1946 or so. But I have a couple of motors that are quite a bit newer or older than the equipment they're being used on. Some have plates like that, and one ancient shaper is getting a similar plate made for a new motor and VFD. Bill in OKC? William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.)

Hi all i have finally got to the point where i can see light at the end of the tunnel and its not the oncoming express train to Sheffield!!
?
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
?
Pics for clarification

Re: trying to attach the motor to my 10f
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).
