My puller,weld pulley
I had to pull a pulley today, so I took pics of the operation:
http://www.mwdropbox.com/dropbox/Puller01.jpg http://www.mwdropbox.com/dropbox/Puller02.jpg http://www.mwdropbox.com/dropbox/Puller03.jpg Note the special three piece puller bracket. I also took a smaller one apart to show the three views and set it beside the pulley. I should have made one first, cause I tried to pull without making this and broke a piece off the pulley. Can this be welded? What special procedure, looks to be a forging or possibly just cast (I doubt it but don't know how to tell for sure). You can see rough grain in the broke off piece. Karl |

Karl Probably cast, I doubt a simple pulley would be forged. Probably best to braze (gas or TIG). |

That probably isn't a high-speed pulley (Woodmiser, innit?) I'll bet it would braze up nicely...if the pulley isn't bent from the abuse the first time around. -- They must find it difficult, those who have taken authority as truth, rather than truth as authority. -- Gerald Massey, Egyptologist |

Braze the busted part back on, clean up on the lathe (inside of the groove..the outside ..dont bother) Done a gazillion of those and it works nicely. You can even tig braze it easily. Silicone bronze or Aluminum Bronze works nicely. Gunner -- ""Almost all liberal behavioral tropes track the impotent rage of small children. Thus, for example, there is also the popular tactic of repeating some stupid, meaningless phrase a billion times" Arms for hostages, arms for hostages, arms for hostages, it's just about sex, just about sex, just about sex, dumb,dumb, money in politics,money in politics, Enron, Enron, Enron. Nothing repeated with mind-numbing frequency in all major news outlets will not be believed by some members of the populace. It is the permanence of evil; you can't stop it." (Ann Coulter) |

My puller,weld pulley
Just did the middle pulley:
http://www.mwdropbox.com/dropbox/pulley04.jpg No way would the puller reach around a four belt pulley. So, i cut a taper matching one of the shieves in my puller attachment. Don't know how i could live without my CNC mill. I'm also glad I took an extra second when taking this unit out of the CNC yesterday and bolted down a locating block. Then I didn't need to re center it. Finding dead center on a triangle is tricky. Karl |
