The second one I pulled out was a Robbins & Myers 3/4HP, 220v A/C motor that spins at 1725 RPM. Serial number is MM18377TQ, and a brief company history was provided by Vintage Machinery :
The third one I pulled out was a single-phase Westinghouse 315P194. It is a 1/2 HP, 110v A/C motor that spins at 1725 RPM, and is a cheap motor on eBay ($20?). It looks like the best candidate for use in the South Bend lathe. The original motor for the lathe was 1/3 HP, so it should have plenty of power.
The fourth one was a General Electric Model 5KH35KG103X. It's a 1/4HP, 115v, continuous duty A/C motor that spins at the normal 1725 RPM. The serial number had "WMA" stamped. On eBay, this would probably sell at around $50 + shipping :
The fifth one was a Dayton single-phase/split-phase A/C motor for 115v, 1/3 HP. The model number is S55NXCCZ-1691 (number 6K030), and it cranks in the normal-for-old-A/C-motor speed of 1725 RPM. On eBay, probably around $37+shipping :
The sixth one turned out to be a General Electric model 5KC45AB1107X, a single phase 1/6 HP, 110v A/C motor cranking (surprise!) in at 1725 RPM. :
There were quite a few motors in that lot (6), but none of them are the same. From a 220v 3/4HP motor to a 110v 1/6HP motor, there are plenty for what I want (you might say over-abundance). My next task is building a stand for the tools, and organizing things a bit for space.
