I'm a bit late on this, but I have one of these. Same motor as yours ( looks like) and flat belt pulley on motor.

I don't want to be pedantic, but we are in Australia and the word is a r s e :((

Thanks for the replies. It was pressed in and the coils are out (in pieces :wink:)
You were about right Stu.

Can anyone tell me what holds the stator in this motor. I'm trying to separate the (burnt) copper.:?319098319099319100319101at the same time seeing how things work.....maybe.

Thanks for the replies which I will pass on to the one with brains.:D

This thread is a good reminder to the likes of me, who does tend to get a bit lax.
I blame it on the time I came through (77yo:o) but that is no excuse, and like many
I work out in the shed alone...

Trying to work out the best way to power the shaper. Thought of getting 3 phase connected, but that may be too pricey. Cam (my son) says maybe a VFD. Is this possible with this motor?
Now to try to...

Welcome home. I use one of those rubber tipped doo dads messaging
on the phone, seems easier for this old bloke.:U

Doesn't look too bad to me, but I'm no expert. I've just re floored one worse than that.:rolleyes:

I gave Bunnings and co the flick long ago. Around here I don't think Economy Bolts
can be beaten.

I bought a box from Repco's ($32 I think) Mainly to please the family
although at 76 years the damage would have been done long ago.:U
They seem to work OK.

Aww go on Ray, you can pick up a power hacksaw for me at the same time.:;

Interesting thread, but it brings back memories (not entirely pleasant) of furnace calibrations up in the Persian Gulf in the sixties.:boat:

Or Melbourne....please:;

You know you're in trouble when you tell your co-workers that you bought an Italian ( fill in relevant item - in my case older Ducati) and you get looks of horror from persons originating from that...

I won't tell you that the Alfa dropped a timing belt and is now in getting a new V6 fitted... something to do with bent valves... :)

I'm across your way almost daily at the moment, I'll surprise...

Hi,

As I am in Melbourne the transport costs would probably rule me out, but I'll get onto the son-in-law who's in the transport game to see what he says.
Regarding the power, my son has 240v 3 phase,...

Ahh, to be 71 again.:U

A bit late but seasons greetings to all.

Great pictures, sorry I missed it. Really really would love to have my stuff neat and tidy like some of the tools there.:U

"Maybe you could PM me your phone number so we can communicate over the weekend if need be."

Phone number sent.

Joe, I didn't get anything from the auction, but if your stuck I could probably do the pick up and work it out from there. The only problem is I am on the other side of town from you.

We were lazy and used the metal claw and pin to join belts when I was apprenticed (in the fifties) if I remember correctly. Quick noisy and ugly.:erm_smile:
