Looking for some assistance from anyone owning a pm-1440e-lb. I purchased a new/used lathe with a bad motor.... Ordered a new one but I believe the original owner changed wiring at motor connection. Wondering if someone would be kind enough to take a photo of the motor connections wiring and email the photo to me. New machine I can't play with.
 
Try contacting Matt at Precision Mathews for a wiring diagram or manual.
 
Hi Rocky57,

Can you post some pictures of what you have and maybe those of us that don't have that lathe but are similar may be able to help.

Sure, good idea.
This is how the motor was wired when I purchased. Owner claimed it welded relay contacts closed and burned start copasitor.
New motor came with brass jumpers installed but old motor had none.

I have switched my motor to a Baldor but I found a photo of the original motor.

Thank you Badspellar for posting that pic! That helps knowing the wiring at motor is correct. Fired it up but with just main switch on the motor start winding are on causing the motor to hummm? I believe a contactor might be burnt. So off I go into checking electrical land. I hate working on things that other folks have had their hands into.
Thanks again to all for assisting in help!
