Looks a nice lump of equipment and well restored. My only concern is the position of that inverter drive - I don't think there are many worse positions you could have put it! The air vents are gonna fill up with swarfe and suds, followed closely by a puff of smoke.

Hi,Birchy might move it,but having said that l have already made a 3 sided cover top and one side and back so air can get at bottom the one side that is covered is ins clear to let air in same with top,so no water splashing or swarf can get in,and air can get in,its shaped to form ,drilled but tried it on yesterday and l didnt level the inverter when l put it on ,so l need to elongate the holes to allow slight movement,but l still might move it-Thanks for the advice-Brian

Should be OK if you can put a shroud over it. Might be better to mount the inverter inside somewhere and just have a small control box on the front of the machine with start/stop and speed pot?
