I am working my way through my lathe re-refurbishment and have the motor on the bench. I want to clean out the accumulated oil and greasy dust and put it back into service but I dont know very much about electrical motors. I would also like to flush the shaft lubrication reservoirs. I am posting here to see if any of you guys can point me in the right direction so I dont make a big mistake.
What we have is a Louis Allis Co 1.5 HP motor from around 1940 I guess since the lathe is a '41 Southbend. I was surprised to see that the company is still in business!
About Us - Louis Allis
I thought for sure they would have been bought out or defunct but it's awesome that they have stood the test of time.
