Link Belt on Logan 200 Motor and Countershaft Pulleys?

Hey, wa5cab.

Are you talking about when the motor is running without the linked belt? I am asking because I mentioned the chuck makes a clacking noise when it is running. It is a well worn Cushman six inch chuck with plenty of runout. I plan on replacing it with a Shars six inch chuck after I evaluate the rest of the internal lathe components.

Mike,

Yes. The motor makes significantly more noise when running with no belt on it than it does immediately after turn-off with no belt on it. Not that it is likely to hurt anything but a little of 60 or 120 CPS hum should be the extent of the difference. You might check it about once a month to confirm that it isn't getting progressively worse. Beyond that, my comment was aimed more at explaining why the difference in noise levels than anything else.
