Do you need or know anyone needing a flywheel like this? It has 4 steps for 1.5" wide belting. The steps are 19, 20, 21, & 22 inches in diameter (in round numbers).
My research (measured my machines) Seneca Falls, and Shepard both have 1-1/2" diameter steps on their flywheels. Both have only 3 steps also. My Barnes that has 4 step drives have 1-1/4" diameter steps. The five spokes should help identify it. The Barnes and Shepard both have 4 spokes and the Seneca Falls has 6 spokes.
My thumbing through Ken Cope books shows Wilkerson, Sebastian, Reed, and Prentice, were ones with 4 steps besides Barnes. From the shaft I figure it fits a Wilkerson, Reed or Prentice lathe. None of the sketches I have show the spokes.
The folks at Tuckahoe are selling it to raise funds for other projects. If interested I'll put you in touch with them.
