With these more detailed measurements, I’m guessing that it’s a new motor needed.

That does look rather terminal.

Depending on the cost of a replacement motor, it might be worth considering replacing the entire drive arrangement with a 3 phase motor + VFD. A bit more "engineering" to get that fitted, but probably a more reliable long term solution if done properly. It would be annoying to replace the DC motor & then have, say, the drive go down in a short time if it has been stressed by the current motor situation.

Gents.

I have a working lathe!

I bit the bullet and purchased a replacement motor. I stayed with the same DC motor for ease! Thank you for all of your help and advice. It was really appreciated.
