Not too familiar with Fords but one of these days I'm going to find a good deal on one and buy it. I was looking through a Ford tractor book the other day and was wondering, I don't ever seem to remember seeing them with a belt pulley, or wasn't I looking well enough? Was it an option? Why didn't Ford have them like most makes did during the 40's?

I have several of them. The first one I got, I decided to replace the leaking seals. Once I got it apart, I decided the bearings were not that good, plus the spot weld that held the gear on the output shaft needed replacing. So I bought it for 25 and spent nearly 90 to make it brand new. The big pulley looks like it is made from wood but is actually compressed paper. One of the other ones I got a fellow had adapted a regular vbelt pulley and used it to drive a small generator when the power would go out in his house. I think the most popular implement that went with it was the cordwood saw. I have one but decided it is just too dangerous. They are available just about everywhere. Most tractor shows, someone will have one for sale.

Hi Mike. Here's what one looks like, attached to the tractor:

They can be attached facing left, right, or down, and used to power a cordwood saw, irrigation pump, corn grinder, grain elevator, and probably much more.

Here's a close-up of one off of the tractor:

Here's a parts explosion:

Hope this helps..... ..... Ed

Ken..... ....my I&T FO-4 sez: "belt pulley revolves at 1358 rpms when crankshaft speed is 2000 rpms", and "PTO speed is 545 rpms when engine speed is at 1500 rpms". And since belt speed is the most important factor, from the Ford 8N Operators Manual "3199 ft/min at 2000 rpm engine speed" and "Maximum belt pulley power 8N is 27.3 hp at 2000 rpm." I'll let you do the math..... ..... respectfully, Dell

Yes and they are the same as the Ferguson Belt Pulleys. The Bolt Pattern outside the PTO Shaft that holds the Chain Mounts is what holds the Belt Pulley in front of the PTO Shaft. You can mount it several ways to the bolts because they are a square pattern and the Stock PTO Shaft slips inside the Belt Pulley with out Modifications. I have one listed on eBay under Belt Pulley if you want to see several close up pictures of one. Mark H.

These were also the used as a brush mower attachment. The gearbox was turnde 90deg. so the output pointed down.

Then a blade without guard was attached so as to mow brush between the tires. (thanks to Ed Gooding for the image - remember photopoint?)

Kind gives safety a new meaning. Just think how many splinters you would get in your backside!

Ed,

With a pulley in place of the blade, that would be a PERFECT attachment for a belly mower. Think about it--NO 'Corvair belt' twists to damage the belt!

I once saw (at an auction) a Woods attachment like that for a belly mower. I've since tried to locate one, to no avail. Anyone else out there seen what I'm talking about?

Here is another scan from the brochure...

Odd that the implement manufacturer's logo represents a disembodied hand lying in front of a barn.

Thanks again to Ed Gooding - When are you going to come out with your tractor and implement brochure CDROM?

Hi Mike. They were available as an "original" accessory.

P.S. Where are you in Alberta? I'm in Manitoba.

In Sherwood Park, about 6 miles east of Edmonton. How were the mosquito's this summer? Back in the 80's I had a neighbor from Winnipeg who eventually moved back there. Great guy (like everyone from Manitoba right)? I used to have to go over at bedtime and drag my kids home, they were either watching cable TV with him (I didn't have cable) or baking cookies with his wife. I was beginning to get a complex.

I just about moved to Sherwood Park about 2 years ago. Nearly took a job with a company in Edmonton (I won't mention the name but they're a big poly tank mfr at the corner of Fort Road and Yellowhead). Still manage to get to Edmonton once in awhile on work. I've always lived in MB but I continue to be an Oiler fan (ohhh for the 80's NHL again!)

That sounds kinda cheap for one in good operating condition, but I'd take $75 for the one I have. I think they will interchange among the N's, 600/800 series, and Fergies.
