Many will work with the right mounting adapter and headstock pulley.

Yes, Shopsmith marketed a power mount adapter and headstock drive pulley when they started selling the Mark V. There is a very helpful
group on Yahoo that has information on adapters and variations on the headstock drive hub.
Have fun!

This fellow has LOTS of cool adapter stuff, and is always inventing new stuff. Good guy to deal with and he does a top notch job.
