Looking For Replacement Motor For Th54

In all honesty the motor I got it so quiet and runs so well I'm thinking about building a new motor mount to replace the original atlas mount so everything works correctly. I should have all the material to make it. I may have to make hinges but that should be it really. And this motor is multi voltage single phase. Jade manual reset overload
Protection and I paid 139$ all said and done with a 3 year replacement plan

Where did you get the motor from?

Carlo,

I bought the motor from Grainger.

The Atlas No. 2720 is listed in several Atlas catalogs as being suitable for the Atlas 10" lathe. So I don't understand why you say that it doesn't fit. Perhaps your countershaft assembly is incorrectly assembled?

I'd suspect my motor mounting pad is incorrect before I'd think the countershaft is incorrect. I say that because from seeing others lathes mine looks to be correct. My 56 frame only aligns with two bolts towards the rear of the pad. I got the pulleys all aligned now but I had to leave two pads unbolted.

I just smoked the motor on my atlas and just put something on I had kicking around. 1/3hp up to 3/4 is fine. I buy old tools and often only for the motors. Get something for $30 and use the motor and parts. The motor mounts on the older stuff is almost always the same.
 
Here are tables showing the frame numbers Walker-Turner used for their flavor of Kingston Conley motors. They were taken from a 1942 WT catalog. Note the 118 frame number, for example on the KAB5 motor.

According to that chart I think I need a 56HZ frame for it to be correct mounting. For now I'll leave it be though. So far it's working good. I actually got to make some decent cuts on some real gummy material ImageUploadedByTapatalk1429149969.445774.jpg

I agree with leaving well enough alone for now. I'm still puzzled, however, as to why the original Atlas motor didn't fit the motor mounting bracket on the 10F lathe.
 
I can attempt to get pictures at some point if it may help. I also would like to know why it wouldn't. If it is the original in going to find someone who can rebuild it.

In all probability, the Atlas motor is original to the lathe.

Next time that I call Clausing, I will try to get a drawing of the original 10" motor mount. I know that you wrote the motor frame size earlier but I can't seem to locate it and can't read it off of the nameplate. So would you please repeat it?
