Tools needed:
1) A small flat blade screwdriver
2) A medium (#2) Philips Head screwdriver
3) A magnet to magnetize the screwdrivers (optional)
To begin: Unplug the machine
- Remove the cover, using a magnetized flat blade screwdriver
- Pop off the “C“ clip that holds the movement on.
- Watch your fingers, and watch that clip fly across the room....
- It's at the upper left of the frame.
- Remove the movement. This exposes the motor.
- Back the two motor screws off, about 3 complete turns.
- Remove the wires that attach the motor to the wire block.
- Jiggle the motor out, then move the mounting bracket over to the new motor and spring.
- Reinstall: Do the reverse of the above.
Since it's already all apart, this would be a good time to oil the main shaft on the movement, and to change the ribbon. Use a few drops of WD-40 on the moving parts.
Why this one?
Lathem's encapsulated coils are covered with DuPont's ZYTEL 70G33L resin, a glass reinforced nylon. By using encapsulated coil motors, the Lathem time recorders have a superior resistance to moisture (15% greater dielectric strength*) and power surges. The encapsulation process also produces stronger lead wires which reduces the chances that the wires will pull out of the motor (double the pull-out strength*). The compact Lathem motors are permanently lubricated and require no maintenance during their lifetime. * Compared to standard tape wrapped coils.
This Lathem Motor fits these machines - and any similar looking Lathem clock.

Look at yours. If it looks even remotely similar, it will fit.
When replacing the motor, you should also replace the clutch spring.
The clutch spring is press-mounted to the center shaft (not welded, that would never fail).
This bond breaks. As it slips under pressure on the shaft, the clock loses time.
We always change both parts at the same time our shop.
