I posted this on the Antique and History forum, but have not got an answer yet.
I have a WWII vintage South Bend 9" lathe. In order to transport it, I removed the motor by 'unwiring' it. I recorded how it was wired, but lost my notes. The lathe ran fine before I disassembled it. It was wired for 110 volts (no ground).
Four wires come out of the F/off/R switch. Green and yellow alternate between hot and neutral depending on the position of the switch. Black is always hot, and red is always neutral. There is no ground.
At the motor there is a terminal board with five studs. The terminal studs are numbered 5,1,2,3,4. The red wire from the switch was wire nutted to a red (neutral) wire that goes in at the top of the terminal board. So I have three wires to figure out. Green and yellow (which do the F/R and the black (always hot).
So which terminals do the three wires connect to? Is there a way to tell which terminal goes to what? What terminals are the start windings and what are the run windings? Which terminals don't get used or may be for 220 VAC (which I won't be using).
The motor is a General Electric 5KC63AB
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, J.R.
