I just took a look at what your tractor supply has in weld on pulleys. This one is 2.50", but I don't know if the bore could be opened up enough to slip over 1 3/4". You'd need to take a measurement to see.

The next size up is 3 1/2" with a bore of 1 5/8. Even the bore would need to be opened up. When it says a pulley will take either an A or B pulley is that a description of belt width?

A is 1/2" and B is 5/8" belt. Let me look and see what i have here first,i could get them right here and zap it together for you.............................Curt

curt, I missed your post this morning and starting making a pulley mount at work today. Here's what I got done so far.








I found some thick wall tubing and pressed a smaller piece into it. Then I
bored it to 5/8'' and broached a keyway into it. It's a full 1'' to give lots of support. Then I bored the tubing to 1 3/4'' inside and made it long enough to align with the rear sheave and then sb can cut it to length and weld the pulley onto it.


I will be looking to see if I have a pulley that I can bore to slip over the tube.

If you decide to make one also, let me know what size pulley you end up with and I can make a different size so sb can have a choice.
 
That's Kool, I just got parts ready and will be using a 3" ideler pulley and will hug out the bearing when done. How deep did you make it, only needs about 1 1/2"
My thought is make it 2" and then he can put washer in it if needed to move it back out some
.........Curt
msrfan
looking for a set of broaches just the small 1/8,3/16,and 1/4" know of any?

How impressive is this? A community effort to help get our pal silverbear through a tight spot in his build!

I'd be so glad to contribute if I only had the knowledge, tools, material, etc., to make a contribution. But I don't. So I'll be content to be a spectator.

But it feels good to watch. I can tell you that for sure.
 
I can't believe you guys. Gives me a lump in my throat. Don't really know what to say beyond a heartfelt thank you.

Hey sb, we're enjoying this as much as you. What good is all this stuff if you can't share it with your buds.

Okay curt, I'll try to fit a smaller pulley. Mine's about 2 3/8'' deep inside. I know a considerable amount will need to be removed.
The broach set I use is at work and cost around $300. I see some on ebay and especially like the Threadwell set.

Your verbal support is worth more than you might think. Keeps us going.
 
Not knowing what a broach was I googled it. I was familiar with the word as in "broaching a subject" like in bringing something up for discussion, also the big pin old ladies used to wear... a broach. But then I read that the word goes way back and has to do with piercing with a pointed tool like a spit into a roast, a tap into a keg or barrel, a ship into the wind or in our case...
"Broaching is a machining process that uses a toothed tool, called a broach, to remove material. There are two main types of broaching: linear and rotary. In linear broaching, which is the more common process, the broach is run linearly against a surface of the workpiece to effect the cut"

Glad you got your set of broaches, Curt. And I got some new to me meanings to an old word. Thanks. When I signed up with this forum I knew there were things I wanted to learn about, but I had no idea how vast the subject is and of all the fine people here who are both students and teachers at the same time. My kind of school!

Yes i have wanted a set for a long time and just keep holding off,and when i seen this said that it do now or never.
Yes i also have learned a lot from home made tools,to engine tuning,whats good and whats not. The best part is the stuff that is so simple WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT. Sorta thing,just seeing someone else's version does it. and like msrfan said Your verbal support is worth more than you might think,well worth the fun doing it .........Curt
 
Yes, wheelwoman, it is a very nice tool that I use occasionally and will have to purchase when I retire.

Okay sb, I made a crude pulley this morning that will help you set up your final drive alignment. It slips back and forth on the tubing. When you determine the position, just have it welded in place and remove the excess. With the close tolerances to work with, I could only manage a 3'' O.D. also. Curt may come up with something better, but you can use mine to get your dimensions.

PM your shipping address and I'll get it in the mail. We'll get this figured out one way or the other.

I can't thank you enough for your consideration, kindness and generosity. It is truly remarkable. I will try in my own way to pass it along as best I can. And really nice work, too!

Hi curt, the 3 1/2'' may be what he needs if mine is too low gearing. It's good to know it's available.
