Enco 110-2031 Made in 1988, Motor wiring.

I have the same lathe and bought a 1.5hp 3ph 220v motor and a 3hp VFD because for some reason the previous owner removed all the electrical. Now I need to figure out how to adapt a Grizzly tailstock to it. I thought it was the same but it looks like it's about a half inch too tall. Waiting to find out if I won a couple chucks in an auction and then need a tool post and tools for the thing.
I think I'll end up having just as much into this "good" deal as I would have spent on a known good lathe from a tool dealer. Oops.
 
Hello Scott, Ever hear of Mercer? Anyways, I'm always getting myself into stuff like this cause I hate to see stuff on the scrap pile. I have a South Bend made in like 1928, 15" but its too big for my shop so when I seen this I figured I could resurrect it and make it useful again, and it will be as soon as myself and the good people on this site figure it out! I have the SB in a semi van I ran power to so when I need to use it I swelter in an oven. Need to weed out my shop is what I need to do.

I have this same lathe (well the 110-2033). It is a nice piece of equipment. Let me know if you have any electrical or other questions about it.

Enco 12x36 Lathe Rebuild (Picture Heavy!)

Hi All, I recently purchased an Enco110-2033 gap bed lathe from a industrial surplus business for around $1100. It's more than some have spent on a lathe like this, but it was available nearby my house and in beautiful condition under the significant amount of grime that had coated it. This...

I would be inclined to totally disassemble the Enco, and clean and lube. May be just too much mechanical resistance working against the motor. Hate to burn up another one needlessly. Mike
 
Brookie: Looks like the Smith and Jones (ha) would work. I believe it has a thermal cutout; slightly different wiring arrangement but I can help you with that- let me know if you buy it

I totally disassembled it, only had a few parts left over! Normally I have a coffee can full. Put 2 new belts on it but the one that drives the spindle is a little loose, Already adjusted it once. Keep plugging away.

I broke down and bought it today, it does have a thermal cutout. What do I need to do to get it running? Thanks
 
I attempted to hook up the Harbor Freight motor yesterday with a buddy who wires industrial stuff but normally he is working off a set of plans. The whole time he was scratching his head he kept saying "I don't know if this is going to work". Well it worked 50%, the lathe runs one way and trips the CB the other way. This is how its hooked up P1 to L1(V), T4 and T2 to L2(U), T5 to M5, and T8 to M6. Anybody see what we did wrong or maybe that motor just can't do what I want it to do. Suggestions other than spend a shoebox full of cash? Appreciate the help.
I'm also in the process of making a stand for it.
 
Can you post a link to the motor? I’ll draw you a schematic.
 
I'll jump in too if needed- the diagram in post 10 is the new motor correct? And running on 240 volts?
