Craftsman Motor Bracket

[HunterMike]

So I just picked up a Craftsman 103.0103 Band Saw yesterday, and it came with this 3/4HP motor. I don't believe the motor originally went with the band saw, but since it was not mounted I can't be sure. My question, for you gurus, is what type of machinery have you seen this type of motor bracket on before? They also had a blue Craftsman table saw buried on the other side of the garage, so it could go to that? Not sure. Bracket is stamped S10-5.

Help appreciated.

Some piece of machinery that has a pivot (the holes in the end) to keep the belt tensioned.
Could be a lathe.

That color blue on the motor looks correct for late-30's - early-40's era Craftsman motors. Is it a Craftsman, Dunlap, or Companion motor ?

Since most of the machines of that era had the option to buy the motor separately, the original owner may have bought a more powerful motor, or used one that he already had on hand from another machine.

The manual recommends a 1/3hp motor with either :
2" pulley on a 1750rpm motor
3" pulley on a 1140rpm motor
2" pulley on a 3450rpm motor AND change the 5" pulley on the saw to a 10" pulley.

The manual can be downloaded at vintagemachinery.org here :

Looks like the hanger for a table saw.

I am thinking lathe. I am not home right now to check but it looks familiar.

Jakemac,
I did see that in the manual as well. It is a craftsman branded motor. It does have a 2" pulley, and the saw has the 5" pulley.

Zeke & Zeeman, there was a blue table saw and a planer they had as well.

I must have gotten the wrong motor.

Thanks all for the reply's.

The motor is fine. As l long as it runs. Just needs a new mount. 3/4 hp is great or even overkill.
