Looking to add a treadmill motor to a JD Wallace vintage bandsaw.

Thanks for clearing up information about the motor not being original John. That means there is not much reason to preserve its parts. Another thing I forgot to mention is that the 4 bolts that hold the motor case together only fit one way. The bolt holes are not symmetrical (the reason for the white out orientation marks) maybe that means it was changed somewhere down the line also? I don't have experience with motors of this age and have no refence if this is normal or for motors of this age or not.

Looking at your suggestion for the mounting plate I am not sure I understand. Turning down the pulley I understand but not the mounting plate. Is your idea to put a mounting plate where the black flywheel is in the photo?
