Im looking for a replacement motor for the SB 9" lathe I'm restoring. I note that over the years apparently some non stock motors were mounted, quite a few threaded holes in the motor mount. Last motor they used was a 56c size.... Ive been trying to find the frame size of the original GE 5KH45AB55 motor it came with new but no luck.

Anyone have any suggestions of a 1/4 or 1/3 hp motor that will bolt up without modification ?

Thanks,

Mike
 
Just assuming this is a older lathe, I would bet it was a 48 frame and quite possibly sleeve bearing.
 
Older.... Yes 1938. 48 is a good possibility. I need to measure some of the existing hole patterns. That should help...
 
56 frame motors usually have multi- holes in the foot
most 56 frame motors have a 5/8' shaft, except for the 65HZ, it has a 7/8" shaft
