Wrong Rpm Motor On My Wards Version Logan 200

I ordered one of the non-contact digital laser photo tachometers the other day. I plan to check the rpm readings at different places and check to make sure I don't break something.
 
Put the proper motor on it. Or take it off and sell it without the motor.

I am hoping to find one locally and make a trade or sell mine to purchase the correct motor. Ebay has several, but the shipping charges are high. I need to search for a local electrical repair shop to see what they have. I don't use the lathe at the moment so there is no worry about tearing it up, except when I break something trying to fix it.
 
I will look see if I have a used one in the shop.
What frame size, shaft size, Mount do you have?

Just go to Grizzly and order one of the Chicom (gasp) motors in the correct configuration. I did the same a while back and that was one of the better $75-$100purchases I made.
 
Aren't chucks rated for certain speed ranges? wonder what happens if run too fast?

It is a cradle style mount 9 1/4" between the end brackets. The shaft is 5/8", but 3/4" is okay. My pulley is 3/4, but I have a slotted bushing to make it fit my shaft. I appreciate the help.

Sorry I didn't have any capacitor start motors and you would want that on the lathe.
Shouldn't be hard to find as it appears to be a 56 frame motor.

Thanks for looking. I think I will put it on a barter listing on craigslist. What designates it as a 56 frame motor?
