"DID FIND A MONARCH 10 EE WITH MOTOR MISSING. SOON FOUND OUT THAT IT COST NOT JUST AN ARM AND LEG OT REPAIR, BUT BOTH ARMS. AND STILL MIGHT GET IT GOING."

If it's from a guy in residing in the suburban Seattle area, run ... don't walk ... away from it.

Otherwise, there is help for wayward 10EEs on in the Monarch forum.

It is possible to take a motorless 10EE and to make it whole, using that 10EE itself as the machine which makes the motor-backgear adapter, and/or the motor sheave.

An example of how ... specifically ... this was done is in the DropBox.

kdhigh try joining and posting to the two yahoo groups puget-sound-metal and kitsap-metal. Inactive groups but you will find some folks who don't read PM or RCM.

Hate to sound too simlple but did ya try ebay yet?I have a 12x54 atlas and a heavy 10x36 South Bend that I rebuilt using parts from ebay. I bought my M-head Bridgeport for 750$ on ebay also.I did find a sanford surface grinder 4" at a yard sale but I got the mag chuck from ebay for 40$. You have to shop and bid and get serious with watching the auction end but there are still great deals available.

There have been some ads in the Tacoma News Tribune for lathes this last week. Have you called them? In the classifieds, under "Tools."
