I will be very interested to follow your rebuild, especially the use of the treadmill motor. I am reading its data plate correctly that it thunders round at 4800 rpm. I don't have any stepped pulleys with mine just a twin v belt pulley, so any speed adjustment will need to be done off the lathe. Great stuff.
 
Converted from leather round belts like treadle sewing machines use.
Wondered about that. Wonder what shape were the grooves on the multi-speed pulley. Seem to remember that Mrs M's treadle sewing machine had rounded, rather than V-shaped grooves on the drive pulley, but that was 55 years ago!
