Hey y'all it's time to make the change on my Bridgeport. It has been working on the 3 ph. convertor, but it will only run in low gear. I have the new motor and adapter plate and the single ph. drum switch in hand. Last night I finally gave up and pulled the original 3 ph. motor. only 2 bolts and 3 wires. Not a big deal. But I need some help before I go and ruin a billion dollar pulley.
Here is the 3ph. motor w/ pulley. I am sure someone on this forum has pulled this pulley off before. Looks like BP didn't bother with making a used friendly way to remove the pulley and I sure don't need to break it. So what is the easiest and safest way to remove this pulley and the next question is.
The new 56 frame motor has a 5/8" shaft and the pulley, 3/4". Can I get some ideas here on how to make this work?
