Hi Col,
I think the way mine was is original but not certain as the flange is missing ,but the motor went straight though the bottom casting hole and the wheel attached to the shaft. another reason i think so is that the motor has a cast foot attached which i saw somewhere bolted to a cast iron base (also missing) Heres a couple of photos .
The American saw has the original motor from the saw manufacturer with nameplate and is 220-230v.It just plugs straight in and works perfectly despite being only 1/3HP.
A photo of the saw also showing the substantial casting (must be twice the weight of the Wilmac despite being also a 12" wheel saw) . The paint job is awful ,painting the nuts bolts and everything in site.
The stand and everything appears original,i think a great find.
