Pully trouble on my heavy 10 southbend

[Cushtymax]

Hi

Hi please help I need to get my V belt pully attached to my motor on my Southbend lathe. Only had my lathe couple of years it's been no trouble until now . Lathe just stopped & I panicked as I don't have lots of exspereance with manual lathes but learning fast, anyway I thought maybe motor was broken so had it checked & was fine also start switch is fine so then I thought oh dear what now-So looking at the pully that is on the motor shaft it's not turning and looks like I missing a key or link that connects it to the motor shaft but not to sure as I did not see anything to start with and I guess it's missing or broken off.
Can someone help me or advise on what I'm missing or what to do next.

You'd better get stuck in an see what's supposed to be fixing the pulley to the shaft. There should be a key or maybe a grub screw through the pulley that tightens on a flat portion of the shaft. There are various ways but it should become obvious what's wrong.

Sorry for posting on this particular forum I'm a Newbie . Anyway I have solved the prob & in up and running again it was a School boy error.

Hi yes it was a pully problem that I missed. No grub screw in this case but I did need to find a key way to match the hole that connects the pully to the motor shaft. In this case I contacted my local motor rewind shop & they had loads of spare keys laying around and were kind enough to just let me have one . But of course you need to take your pully or motor so they can match one up for you. You could prob bench grind something yourself to hammer in the hole, but I did it this way to get the job done quickly and make sure of a snug fit.
The old piece is prob still hanging around the work shop somewhere and probably turn up in the future when I have a good clean up.
