I can recommend Eastland Electric Motors of factory 10, 13 Molan Street Ringwood as I have been using them for about 20 years now.
You will have to drop of the lathe but give them a call first as they may only need the motor.

I had a MC 1100 for several years it always ran hot.

Manfred,
The running hot may be normal for your motor. Here is a chart of insulation ratings for motors:

Even the lowest rating, class A will burn you if touched.
Here is a motor plate which shows it can be run continuously at an ambient temperature of 40 degrees C. The insulation is class B, which would let the motor run at 130C without harm to the motor. Putting your hand on a 130C motor would definitely harm you.

If you have access to a non contact infrared thermometer that would give you a quick temperature. An oven thermometer wired to the motor for a long session would get close.So much timber, so little time.
