Hello,
My father gave me a South Bend 9A lathe sans motor years ago and its been sitting idle in my shop but I've decided that its time to get it into working order. I've been reading through the cleaning and restoration threads and am ready to power it up. As it didn't have a motor when I received it, I picked up a single phase 1/2 hp dual voltage Marathon motor from Tractor Supply and a drum switch off ebay. Specifications for each are below:
Motor: Marathon 56c17f5325a
Drum Switch: Relay and Control Logic RS-1A-SH
In reading the available drum switch threads, most of these motors seem to be either 4 or 7 wire units...if I am reading the diagram correctly, I have nine. I'd like to wire this for the low voltage option (115v) and need some help with the wiring as well as understanding the rotation reversing with the black and read wires. I've included some photos below and would appreciate any help you could offer.
thanks
Mike
