I'm looking at doing this with a Cooksley planer I just bought.
Can your existing motor be run on single phase by changing from star to delta.
I'm not an expert so wont try and give any advice - I'm sure someone who knows more than me will come along and help.

This man in a shed might help...

:lol:

Edit, I had it fitted on a ber2, had the pulley machined to fit on the spindle which I'm sure I think I still have somewhere.

If it's Bob, he wired the starter up for me that I fitted to this motor, I put that starter on my AGS just before selling it to Mark so can't help with that.
