Basket Case Dunlap rewire

[FordMustangKingCobra]

At the moment I've got this motor I'm going to try and rewire with the schematics I was given, any advice would be appreciated, from how to determine what's the start winding and the run winding, main winding and auxiliary winding, as I need to replace all the cracking cloth wire.

Here's the readings I got.

I used to accept challenges like this. Then very suddenly and almost without warning, I was 79yo. I cannot take on those events anymore.
I did a careful cleaning and partial rewire on an ancient General Electric 5 horsepower motor.
Soon it became first run time. There was a shower of molten copper balls dancing on the shop floor. I bought a new motor for the Old GE motor and John Barnes drillpress. I have tried to forget the Old GE motor.
BTW, the motor house was made from a microwave case.

I have no idea how old this Sears and roebuck motor is this motor came with Craftsman my metal lathe and originally I didn't trust this motor because of the decaying cloth wiring, but that other motor went out and I don't have the money to buy another one so I decided you know what I'll take a crack at this

The date code is "D 3 4".

I'm not too familiar with that date code format, but I believe "D" is the month April, "3" is the year 1943, and "4" is the week of the month.


Is there a capacitor in that model?

Yeah that lines up with when I believe my lathe was made so this is probably the original motor to that lathe

As far as I'm aware there was no capacitor

New 3/4 hp motor is around $150.

Well I'm broke so at the moment this is my only option to get my lathe up and running again

10-4.

Just mentioned it as I've wasted time before on something only later to.find out it's cheap and readily available.

 

[FordMustangKingCobra]

I just figured you know what it's worth a shot

Ok, if my date estimate is correct, I believe your motor is shown on page 21 of the 1943 catalog and confirms no capacitor.

This post may help, but includes an inline capacitor.

Dunlap Motor Wiring

Hi all I have a Dunlap 1/3 Hp Model 115.5454 split phase motor that I need help with connecting the internal wiring. This is the same motor that Franklee restored in late 2015. There is a terminal block in the end bell housing that has two places to attach the ring terminals. There are 5...

I still have that Companion wiring assembly and could try to identify the stator wire colors.

Regarding the start winding versus the run winding... generally the wire gauge of start winding is thinner than the run winding.

 

[FordMustangKingCobra]

It's a little difficult to tell because all of the wires have kind of turned into like a sawdust color

Yeah if you don't mind that would be very helpful

Here's what I found. YMMV

Jeramy Fielding has a great Chanel on Utube about repurposing motors from discarded appliances.

 

[FordMustangKingCobra]

I believe I've made some progress.
I'm still don't fully understand the wiring schematics here
