Having trouble finding part

[old]

Here is a chart of a few weld-on-hubs
Are you sure the one you have is 1-1/2" and not 1-5/8" dia.?

View attachment 78526

Could be 1-5/8 the calipers I used to measure the hole are old and it did seem to come up to 1.430 or so and not sure how close that would be to the 1-5/8. I just know so far I cannot find either a hub to fit a pulley of a pulley to fit the hub. I found a 1-3/8 PTO spline hub but it would not fit any of the pulleys the place had. Would be nice if I could find the correct pulley for this mower since if you wanted the mower to run faster you removed shims if you wanted to to run slower you added shims

I do have a mill, lathe and appropriate welding equipment. zuhnc

Welding isn't the problem the hole or hub is the problem

You are not sure how close it would be? 1-5/8" is 1.625. 1.430 is less than 1-1/2". It is .195 or about 3/16" smaller than 1-5/8".

So I need to find a weld on hub adapter that fits a1-3/8 PTO to pulley. Bomgaar's has one for 1-1/8 but not the bigger one. Back when it was Orschlen's they had them since I welded one years ago to a pulley

Is this a "B" or a "C" width sheave?

This is the PTO pulley fro the B/C mid mount sickle bar mower. It is a multi part pulley or as least the factor one was where you had 2 half's and shim in the middle of them so you could make the where the belt went bigger or smaller to speed the bar up of down. I have 1 half of the factory pulley and could have gotten the other half today for $50 at an old A/C dealer but that would not help me with out the part of it that fit on the PTO shaft

O.K., let's try it this way, is it a "B" or a "C" width BELT?

Not sure how wide the belt is but I know it is not a 1/2 it is pretty wide but most drive belts for sickle mowers are. I could walk and and double check if it still has the numbers on it. But if I where to guess I'd say 5/8

Perhaps you could measure it?

I am trying to help you, I have quite an oddball collection of sheaves of various sizes and a 1-3/8" splined hubs sitting on the shelf AND a lathe.

While this is a crude way to measure how wide the belt is but I think it will be close. A 5/8 wrench fits almost tight to the belt so I figure the belt is 5/8. The factory pulley was set up so you could add or remove shims to speed up or slow down the action of the bar. I wish I could find the factory pulley but not likely. I have one half of the pulley and I could have got the other half today for $50 but it didn't have the hub fro the PTO so that would have been no help

I have a copy of the manual for this mower and while it shows pictures of the pulley I need it doesn't list a part number or other info on it

O.K. 6" "A" width sheave with 1-3/8" 6-spline hub, it is then.

Or, did I imagine the 6" dimension, a quick look at your posts didn't turn that up.

To be SURE, what size sheave do you need?

 

[old]

O.K. 6" "A" width sheave with 1-3/8" 6-spline hub, it is then.

I think that is the lower pulley but I am not sure. I'll see if I can find the half of the drive pulley in my shop and measure it which may help you help me

Well I tried to find the half pulley that was hanging up in my shop but it isn't on the wall any more so it fell off or something. I did measure the lower pulley the one that drives the parts that in turn drives the pitman and out side to out side is 8 inch but the belt rides down so the outer part of the belt sit just a tad bit inside that 8 inches

Well, standard PTO speed is 540 RPM's, how many strokes per minute would you like the sickle to operate at?

I think a typical old tractor mower operated at 700 to 900 strokes per minute, some newer equipment operates at at least 1600 strokes per minute!

A common old DEERE #5 has a standard drive ratio of 1:1.6, a low speed option of 1:1.5, and a "speed up option"of 1:1.8.

Not sure how fast I need it to go but I know at the speed it goes now shakes the tractor very badly. I know years ago I had one like this one that I sold the B and the mower and it didn't shake near as bad as this one does

Well unless I am missing something here , does your tractor not have a gear shift and throttle ? Why must u cut hay at w o t ? Select your speed and rpm and go. Gear up throttle down is a fuel saver. I do it all the time. Your not pulling a plow 8” deep that you need h p. Days of arguing I would have had that hay field cut and baled.

I also said I have a mill and lathe; you know, for turning and machining round parts! zuhnc

 

[rustred]

and also maybe there is a counter balance problem no way a mower should be shaking a tractor.

Yes I know and I many have to come find you LOL. But I would first need to buy the 1-3/8 PTO hub which is in Lebanon and then get hold of you
