Greg,
Here are a couple of pics of the motor in my HLV-H and keep in mind this beast is rated at one horsepower. It does not appear to be part of the variable speed or brake as I thought, it is just bolted to a cast iron base. I think if you wanted to replace it, you would need to make a heavy flywheel to simulate it's rotating mass to maintain the finish the Hardinge is capable of.
