Thread: Looking for a photo of a tag for a Lima 4-spd motor

I have an old Burke I just finished. It has the Lima 3-phase 4-speed gear motor 3/4hp. I would like to restore the badge or tag that shows the gear selector positions. I think there are more than 1 variety of these so to be clear mine has the tag with the (confusing to me) cross that I suppose shows the positions for the 4-speeds. It shows "In-out" 3-4 etc.
If anyone has a photo of one I would greatly appreciate it. I have for sure seen an image somewhere for a file that could be made into a decal or whatever but I cannot remember where I saw this. It was not on the Yahoo Burke group or the OMWM site.
Thanks
Howard

hi,

i have a 2 hp and a 1.33 hp. if they have the same tag, i'll assume it would be the same for a 3/4 hp. I'll take some pictures in the morning and post them in the afternoon.

Thanks-I look forward to seeing them.

Have you run the motor in each gear and used a tachometer to find the RPM's? I would start there to select an appropriate chart.

Hi Howard,

I have the 3/4 HP Lima drive on my Burke. If you get stuck email me and I'll try to take a picture and get it to you.

I don't know if this is due to wear or just the way they were made, mine does go into all 4 gears but it shifts like an old Austin Mini (e.g. somewhere over hear is 1st...maybe 3rd ...). I didn't notice anything really worn but I need to take another look.

Hi challenger...

Is this what you need?



It's the best I could do--the tag is a bit faded. You might be able to clean it up a bit with Photoshop.

Here's my motor tag:



Hope this is of some help.
