I'm trying to fix an old cement mixer. I need either some washers with a 1"
hole, or a spacer/collar that has the same opening. Where would I look for
these things? Local NAPA? Ace? I would like grade five or eight.

No good industrial supply houses? If not..Napa should be good, followed
by Ace (bracccck!!)

And I need to weld cast to steel. Should I just buzz it with 7018, or get
some Ni rod and do the preheat and postheat and all that? This won't be
taking a lot of stress, just keeping a shaft in line, replacing a wallowed
shaft tunnel.

I think you should hand forge and beat out a new bearing, cast from a
meteorite. You do have one, dont you?

Humm..if not....then Id go with the Ni rod. You CAN make it worse than
it is now if you dont do it right. Its simple..but....

And I have a 13" aluminum pulley that has a one inch hole. It is cracked
along two of the legs, and looks like it will break off any time. Because
the shaft is so wallowed, I want to buy a steel pulley, and tack it on in
line so that it doesn't wobble like the current one does. Any sources?
Gonna look locally in the next couple of days.

What...no aluminum rod? Easy weld..

Now if the shaft is porked..line a new pulley up and weld it on..tack
weld it so you can get it back off someday.

Ebay for pulleys along with the usual internet sources.

Also, check here. And Ill check my Stuff. I may..may have a 12 or 13"

Shouldnt be smaller..run too fast.

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
