Hi,

Please see photos - I'm looking to buy a plastic end cover for the motor of the cl300m. If anyone out there has one they'd be willing to sell, could you please let me know? Cheers, Graham

Many thanks for all your help everyone - at least I now have a starting point towards sorting this lathe out.

I'm probably reading too much into it to expect the motor to hold onto two flimsy looking bolts. I pictured the motor bouncing around during operation, which could lead to the belt jumping off. I've never had one of these lathes before so didn't know what to expect.

Cheers everyone, Graham

Hi Neil,

If you look at the parts diagram on the back page of the manual, and look at no.150 listed as simply 'motor', you can clearly see that there is a flat surface on the motor with four holes in it that mount to the bed. On phoning Clarkes, they informed me that the plate was part of the motor and couldn't be bought separately.

I bought the lathe with the motor and the control box taken off because the control box was damaged. I've repaired the control box and the original owner informed me that the motor was tested as ok and working. On reassembling the lathe, it appears that the motor is simply hanging on two bolts and isn't securely mounted.

If I can possibly find someone with an old burnt-out motor, I am willing to buy it from them as the plate should still be there. The motor has three mounting holes on it where it looks like this plate bolts to. If anyone can help at all with where I might find a plate, I'd be very grateful.

Cheers, Graham
