great video. im in the process of restoring a 50's delta lathe. im trying to rebuild the motor now. do you have any links to old delta motor parts like bearings or capacitors and switches?
Greetings, nice work on the restoration. I have completed one similar for an old table saw but mine was wired with a reversing switch. I bought a replacement switch with 4 terminals and a replacement power cord with 3 conduits like yours. I have four conduits coming from the motor. I know the green ground goes to the shell of the motor, but I was wondering if you know where the other wires should be connected to the switch terminal? There are 2 wires coming off the wire winding and 2 coming off the front of the motor in the little access panel for the capacitor and then the 3 for the power cord. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Your attention to detail is noteworthy. However I believe that 5/16 carriage bolts were originally used to mount the motor. Also it appeared that you installed coupling nuts on the motor draw bolts for no clear reason.
Looks amazing, well done. Glad it worked out so nicely. Did you apply any lubricant to the shaft above the chuck?? If so what kind? I don't want to add any if its not recommended, dust may adhere to the lubricant.
Well done on the DP220 restoration. I’ll be starting a restoration on my own that’s a floor model soon and will use your videos for reference. Can you tell me the HP of this motor? The one that came with mine is a GE and I’ve found an old Delta 1/3 HP motor I’d like to replace it with. My concern is if 1/3 HP will be enough. Wondering if I should hold off and look for a 1/2 or 3/4 instead. Thanks in advance and again, great job on the restorations. Looking forward to future videos. Matt
That’s all I needed to hear. You’ll probably hear from me again as soon as I start the restoration on mine. Take care and have a good one. Thanks again.

Nice! Don't you just hate getting your newly restored project covered with wood chips? Fantastic job.
Nice Job ! You left off bracket under capacitor and your pulley is upside down on motor. But you did a real Nice Job.

Do you still have it?will you sell it to me?
Did you do anything to the identification plate before the video? It looked so good before you even started
I didnt, The motor had be repainted by someone in the past so maybe they polished it up.

Thanks! I didnt add any lubricate, once you get the end caps lined up correctly the bearings do there job great.

Hey Matt, thanks for the compliments, glad you enjoyed the videos. Mine is a 1/3 hp motor and to me does the job just fine.
That’s all I needed to hear. You’ll probably hear from me again as soon as I start the restoration on mine. Take care and have a good one. Thanks again.
