Hey,y'all...I have a belt pulley for my SMTA that needs to be repaired. Upon starting to dismantle it, I found that it is made of paper and that it had dowel pins with nails driven in to the dowel pins to hold the outer end of the pulley in place! What a surprise! The mounting plate on the inside face is good and the plate/flange/ring on the outer end is good so I was wondering if anyone out there has any experience in building a pulley out of wood? (just to replace the paper) If so, what kind of wood should a person use?..and what kind of finish would be applied to help it withstand snow and rain? Should the surface of the pulley be rough so the belt won't slip as easy? Is there a slight crown on the surface of the pulley?, and if so, why?
I have never used a pulley so I'm curious as to how to adjust tension on the belt? Back the tractor up till it's tight? I have a buzz saw that fits on the tractor so I'm sure it has adjustment on the blade pulley, but how is adjustment made on stationairy equipment. such as a threshing machine, etc.
The saw came off an Oliver 60 so I don't think it is a Farmall brand? The table swings up to bring the log in contact with the blade. Anyone have an idea of who may have built such a saw? Sorry, no pictures yet!...too much snow and ice to dig it out until spring! Any replies will be appreciated?
