Milady went on a shop trip yesterday. On the list was get the biggest
damn pulley you can find. The local Fleet Farm has a display of
pulleys you can weld to hubs. It was all picked over, she didn't do
well.

Anyone know of an on line source for a really big pulley? Need one
inch shaft but I do know a machinist that can change that. Mcmaster
Carr has an 18" for $173 but I hope to do better than that.

What sort of power requirement is there. Type of belt required. Are you
intending to use a V belt or would a poly V do the job. A poly V can be
run on a flat surface IIRC the drive ratio is over 5:1 so you just need
a poly V for the driver not the driven.

thats 18" in diameter and weighs 75 lbs?

Swamp cooler pully or bigger?

Air compressors typically have a big ass pulley; the 5hp one that harbor
freight sells takes a pair of 5/8 belts and it keys onto a tapered shaft
that's appx an inch at the large diameter.

Come on down to Yuma for a day. After we get back from fishing you can take
this big ass pulley that's been laying in my back yard for the last 7 or 8
years home with you. It looks like cast iron, so probably not weldable, but
you could certainly bolt it to a weldable hub. I didn't measure it, but it
looks to be a bout 24". I sell it to you for a dollar if you pick it up,
but if you ask me to ship it the handling fee will be horrific. LOL.

FISHING!? in Yuma as in AZ? Didn't think the fish did well under the
catcus.

I'm a sucker for fishing anyplace. Wish i had time right now. Got
about ten days till the storm (fall harvest) hits. I am counting the
days till FL fishing already. This year i have to fish out of a 38'
catamaran with twin diesels, 14' beam. I know, its a dirty job, but
somebody has to do it. VBG

Now that you mention it, I don't think I have ever caught one out from under
a cactus, but I have yanked a few out from under palm trees and mesquite
trees. I think I've even pulled a few bass out through the branches of an
iron wood or two.

Its a Bertram, kind of like this one:

Except its a CAT and has two diesels. Custom fishing boat, less cruise
amenities than the one above.
