Hahahaha, yes about the voltage but everyone knows it's the amps that kill!
So if you are working with the old woodchuck system, it uses a 90vdc motor. I would think the motor would still have the name plate. The motors where mostly sourced through a company called Dayton and sold here in the states at a company called Grainger's. The potentiometer is actually the speed and voltage converter. It's been discontinued for a long time. Take a look inside the box, it's really simple. The newer machines have a LoveJoy connector on the end of the shaft. It has two metal components with rubber spider in between them. For reference https://catalog.farmchem.com/l09558 . It works well. The motor side coupler slides away for free spinning. The other side connects to a 5/8" shaft that connects to the lead screw with a solid coupler. Does that make sense? I think I can find a photo if you need one. Hope that helps a little.
