Can someone explain this wrench?

Croq, The important stuff about that motor is evident on the plate. The information you need to purchase is: RPM (I don't think you will be able to find a 1425/1750 RPM motor, most modern motors are 1725/3450) Voltage (220/440) Phase (3) Hz (50/60) Duty (continuous) Amperage (as long as it is within the range supported by the control contactors, breaker/fuse and wiring, you will be ok, modern motors are usually much more efficient for the same torque vs older motors, so the Amperage requirement will generally be slightly lower on a new motor) and finally, Frame. (In this case, I cannot make it out, however, if you look in just about any motor catalog, it will give a picture/drawing and dimensions for all the mounting frames available, by which you should find one that will match.)

Frame looks to be 204

The wrench of course is non-standard for a SB tailstock. A correct T/S wrench has a big offset to allow the wrench handle to swing without rubbing on the casting. The one you have seems to be for some other special application and the other size holes would indicate that. I cannot figure out why the nuts that it would be tightening would have cross-pins in them, but somehow a plumbing or piping application comes to mind.

You probably should get a gen-U-wine tailstock wrench as I suspect they do work a bit better.

The 1425 RPM comes when the motor is run from 50 hz.

They look to be clearance holes for the notches on the other side. Flat style (gas) valve or oil filler plug removers?

Now that is cool! Thanks.

More stuff to buy C

Thanks Anthony, Tom and Earle.

I posted one more picture of the motor, guess it could have helped earlier. Is there a special designation for the shaft length as it has a 4 belt pulley?

I'll be adding the real wrench to my list of Christmas gifts to me, thanks Jim!

Buy? Thats an easy project to make, and is often shown in many early magazine and book articles.

I will have to, I was pointed to a new one in the MSC catalog, the Armstrong setup cost more than my lathe. I've not started compiling a machining library yet so If you remember any specific issues or publications, I'd appreciate hearing about them. Thanks Gunner!

Thanks for your input Larry.

I think there is a complete of plans in my Giant Home Workshop Manual Popular Science Publishing, 1942 in conjunction with Grosset & Dunlap

Yup..page 381-382: Boring Bars and Holders for your lathe.

Ill try to remember to scan it and email it to you later today.

Or put it in the drop box, or both.

Got it! Thanks! C

If its clear enough, and you think it worth the effort, stick it in the drop box if you get a chance. I didnt think about it before I deleted the file.

Good luck finding one. But it is a great project and not that hard to make. I have one of the bars off that set in my boring bar collection.
