Farmall B Crankshaft Pulley Mystery

Posted by KerryM on November 14, 2011 at 05:42:28 from (56.0.143.23):

I bought a non running B and have slowly been working on it. When you turn it over with the crank, every now and then it locks up. You put it in gear, roll it backwards to turn the crankshaft a tiny bit, it breaks free and cranks fine again. Yesterday I removed the radiator and started clearing all the greasy dirt and crap under it and around the pulley. In the crap I found a big thin flat washer under the pulley, all bent up and in two pieces. Shiny places where its been rubbing. I think it'd been catching on a flat area on the pulley hub and causing the lock up.
It reminds me of an oil slinger on a car on the crankshaft behind the timing cover. Could it have gone on between the pulley and timing cover? I don"t see any damage to the cover or pulley. I have no clue how it would have came off if it went there.
Ideas? Thanks
