Have taken possession of a heavy 10 and in the process of cleaning etc. before putting into service. The motor question still remains to be resolved but am making some progress.
The lathe came with a Delco E2 motor - 1 hp, 460V, 3 phase with a 182 frame. As I have not found any diagram for rewiring to 230/220 I am contemplating replacing the motor but I am finding limited (read expensive) choices for this"large" a frame. I currently have the cabinet up side down for cleaning - would not want to replace a motor with the cabinet right side up- and notice that there are a number of tapped holes in the mounting plate that appear to accomodate other frame size motors. Would like to hear from other heavy 10 owners as to what size frme motor they are using.
Thanks

The main thing is that there is some adjustent to the belts when the motor is in place.
Check E-Bay, last time I looked, 1hp was going for around $25.00 plus shipping.
