OEM pulley sizes are 4" OD for the 8 speed models and 5.250" for the hydros. Both used a 5/8" wide belt.

Stock belt length for the 8 speed is 81.95" (OEM belt #7473) and the hydro is 84.22" (OEM #7478)

A puller might benefit from a different size - or even adjustable - engine pulley to vary the ratio. It's up to you to verify the "legality" within your pulling club / association.

Just a side note, if you use a aftermarket pulley be sure to use a iron pulley not a stamped steel one.

Glad I found this thread, I was all set to machine a 4" pulley for my 6X6 project, I didn't know a hydro engine pulley was bigger!!

So thanks Terry post posting the above info and thanks to Jake for posting this thread in the first place :thumbs:
