current photos. I have been unable to spend much time at the shop. I just need to select a motor and install it. .

Nice looking little mill, I'd like to find one of those. I'd paint it if it were mine, the green is bad but that yellow is more than I could take.

The color is (Hospital Green ) Some members have seen Enough, already..... BLJHB.

Ok, back on it.
Of the motors that I wanted to use, none fit the stock bolt pattern. Not wanting to make additional holes, I fabbed an adapter plate.

Motor is a Monarch 3/4 HP from a contemporary South Bend 9A.
I have another thread working to get help wiring it.

I would be proud to have a machine like that in my shop. Really, a great job, and a great commentary.
