fourwheelhorseman 355 #1 Posted January 2, 2024 (edited) I need all the pulleys for this project, where is a good place to get them? I would imagine the double pulley will be the hardest and most costly to get.. any ideas? My old ones were rusted beyond repair..

ri702bill 9,359 #5 Posted January 2, 2024 Hmmm.... I keep looking at your picture and all that jumps out at me is the sea of overall corrosion, the crack in the front of the shell and the word "DANGER" on the container...... Methinks you need a lot more than pullleys..... The "Window of Opportunity" may have closed on that one.....Salvage what you can, move on. My observation, not having see the condition of the underside.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darb1964 1,113 #6 Posted January 2, 2024 I don't think I've ever seen one rusted that bad, think you would be better off looking for a used one. Probably cheaper in the long run. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fourwheelhorseman 355 #9 Posted January 2, 2024 Actually the shell is perfect, mandrels are perfect.. belt is junk and pulleys are junk.. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do take the effort to sand or bead blast ALL the paint and rust off. The result of doing so will not lie - If the total count of all holes in the shell exceeds 2X what Elmer and Cecil had in the original part - best to find another shell...... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had planned on doing just that, I have been sanding away and checking the integrity of the deck ever since my last post. I agree it is odd how the pulleys just rotted away, leaving the deck pretty much intact, the belt was actually rusted stuck to the pulleys in such a manner that it was very difficult to get it unstuck. I may just end up scrapping this deck depending on how much pulleys and belt cost. I’m looking at a 48” deck now, I think it can get it reasonable.

ebinmaine 72,451 #12 Posted January 2, 2024 I think it's reasonable to say that most decks one finds should be de-painted and done over by now. If your current one is solid, can be repainted and you aren't looking for aesthetic perfection I'd use it. Not scrap it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
