Hello All;
One of the things I need for my Logan restoration is a proper motor pulley. I have not seen any come up for sale, and the ones that Logan offers new are pretty spendy. My instinct is always to look for a home grown solution, and I've done some looking, but it is rather confusing and I'm not getting anywhere.
It seems to me that there "should" be some sort of a modular system where the correct hub ID is mated to the correct pulley ODs to form the right part for the job. The motor shaft in question is 5/8 keyed and the double pulley ODs are approximately 2.31" & 4.28" in diameter. I'll take a wild guess and say these are weird sizes that I won't be able to find anywhere. I'd love to be able to make one, and with any skill at all it should not be that hard, but I don't have any broaching equipment for one thing, nor much skill to get even that far. i'm not a buyer-to-solve-problems, but it looks like that is my option.
Any wisdom you learned gents could provide would be appreciated.
