Hi Folks,
I just acquired this 10EE. It's in rough shape but I'm going to try and resurrect it. The first order of business is to find a replacement motor and back gear unit. This machine originally came with a 5HP GE Kinematic Motor (at least that's what the motor plate says). At some point the tubes were replaced with a Penta Power KBRG-255 drive. I've got some pics I can post of what's currently there in terms of electrical.
I'm trying to decide how to proceed. I have a source for a replacement Monarch DC motor. Is there an advantage to using a Reliance 3 HP unit over a 5HP GE unit? Anything I should be on the lookout for when acquiring a replacement motor?
I do have a manual I ordered from Monarch.
Here are some pics from the auction listing:
