Pulley snapped of the drive end last year so gassed the other off and used as plain mower
Seen the big bolts up the local scrap yard and thought time to repair it
Both new hubs are lovely tight sliding fit it the rotor so inserted them and offered up the rotor then used the nuts on the ends to tie rope to slide them back into place
Balanced by spinning and welding steel till it stopped a different spot every time

Good to see someone else who will go to great lengths to not weld upside down.
Done a fair few now that I weld either inside the drawbar or cut out a section from the bottom the same size as the eye and weld it on the inside and underneath, they look very tidy done that way aswell. Will search for a photo, I have some but I had dropped the phone and it was taking fuzzy photos that week!!!

This was the best I could find, during the cutting out of the old one and offering up

We’re all workshop envy now!! What’s the roller like? Look an awsome tool. We’ve got an antiquated manual one at work and no week passess without something going through it and the tread guillotine cuts something daily!!! They’re the kind of things you can easily do without intill you use one once! Then every job has something rolled!!

haha thanks. It's gear I've been gathering over the last few years, eventually going to strike off on my own for general engineering. ATM I have a 5ft 1/4" rated guillotine, a 2 metre 35t press brake, those 1.2m 3mm rated rollers, amongst quite a lot of gear really. We built a mezzanine flooring for the workshop last year and revamped the whole thing really.

The gnome helps out sometimes... ;)
