Hi guys. I'm new to the forum and working on setting up some stuff for my new found hobby of manual machining.
I recently picked up a C model 9" south bend lathe. No matter how I connect the wires, the dang thing will only turn in reverse, with either switch position.
It has a Walker Turner KAB-5e motor. Throughout all of my searching and troubleshooting I have found that typically the wires coming out of the motor are colored, however mine are not.
There are 4 black wires labled 1-2-3-4, and two red wires with no labels. When I brought it home, one red wire plus wires 1+2 were wire nutted together. The other red plus wires 3-4 were nutted together.
Some background on myself, I'm an aircraft mechanic and build small airplanes in my spare time. I have a good solid understanding of DC 12/24v electrical system. 120/240v AC........not so much.
I will attach a couple of photos. Any advice?
