I have recently purchased this lathe on a online auction and am looking for the specific model info as well as motor specs so that I can hook it up correctly and use it. The lathe is a 20" swing and ways are not stamped in the usual location but have 59-3486 stamped on the outside of the v way just below the headstock. I removed the belt cover and found a paper tag attached to the motor containing the following info: upper left corner of tag is a X51 then a so# 8146663. Down at the bottom of the tag just above the test stamp is an other number: 35160-3486, lastly the test stamp Test complete number is 55145. Aug 18 1945 is the date tested and the location and facility is; Electrical Laboratory P.S.N.Y.. I am entertaining the possibility of converting the motor to a 7.5 horsepower Leason farm duty 240V single Phase motor that I have that turns 1740 RPM. Will this work if I can fab an appropriate mount, and will it Have sufficent torque? I don't have three Phase power to the shop and could buy a converter if I have to but I don't know what power requirements I need for the proper converter. Any help would be appreciated
