Need A Big Pulley

YuccaFlatsRanch · #1 02/06/08, 11:00 AM

I have a Number 3 cast iron grain/corn grinder that is in perfect condition. I now have a Maytag Hit and Miss engine I'd like to use to power the grain grinder. I need an approximately 17-18 inch diameter v-belt pulley to mount on the inside of the grain grinders flywheel to be able to use a v-belt to power the grinder. Does anyone have something like that or know where to get something like that?? See this to see what I need:

"combine scrap yard, you do mean the pressed tin green one?"

Yes I need one sort of like the tin green one.

The two items above will provide you with a heavy duty pulley that can be matched to your device by specifying the correct hub.

Agmantoo - perfect for the pulley, would like a bit larger, but I will contact them. In the Ebay reference they just drilled and tapped the pulley to the flywheel so no hub needed. We are good to go. Now to find the pulley for the engine shaft.

My computer took a carp as I was about to edit my last post. An air compressor pulley would look more authentic IMO but you may have to make/buy a bushing. Shoup will have the hub and the pulley for the engine also. You may need to verify how much torque that washing machine motor has and adjust the pulley ratio accordingly.

Could you cut and modify a car tire rim to work? Some of the '80s era imports had skinny rims.

Sheave is the search term you would use to find other supplies such as:

I also agree with the others that the sheave (pulley) from a combine will be just the ticket. Allis Chalmers letter series Gleaners had one to several that should be ideal. They were used on several models so should be in ready supply.
Reel drive and unloading auger both used large diameter small belt pulleys if I remember correctly.
