I am going to put a larger motor in my lathe and it now has a 2HP 3
Phase 184 Frame Motor/ 1800 RPM from the 1950's made by Lima Electric
Motor. Will the current NEMA frame size in the 184 frame match my
current hole configuration where the old motor bolted to inside of the
cabinet? I was going to move up to a 3HP motor. The lathe is a Sheldon
WM56P.

Thanks for any help. -Steve
