trying to attach the motor to my 10f

 

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
 

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).

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.

ok it helps if i actually look at this stuff.? there is a plate on the motor that says tuscon made in Britain. ? How the hell your supposed to mount this thing onto the motor mount i dunno.? trouble is its bloody heavy and difficult to maneuver.?
 

sorry meant to say mine is the vertical kind
