Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

how critical is the ballance need to be?
maybe a retaining ring plate that bolts through?

edit. I like Rusty's method

 

Happy Birthday! @Fargo Taco

 

I've done that several times...and it works perfectly.

Unfortunately, it takes 35-40 minutes to drill all those rivets.

I'm looking for a way to speed things up.

Gotta make the doll hairs...

 

Just realized I missed yours.

Thank you!

Thank you!

 

Happy birthday @Fargo Taco !!!

 

Thank you!

 

if you can find a washer with the same ID as the OD of the bearing, it would be possible to weld that to the pulley, and then use a punch right near the washer ID edge to re-secure the bearing to it.

alternatively, and best-case, if you have a hydraulic shop press, i would just press the bearings out(the second picture shows the factory die pinches to retain the bearing on the press-in side), then press the new bearings in and possibly re-crimp them with some carefully-placed chisel blows.

 

Steel ring and weld it on?

i feel like that would be too fat, and the rounded nature of that ring might offer too much movement. almost needs a ring made out of keystock.

something more like this, but it still might be too fat and sit proud of the bearing surface.

but the biggest issue is that supplier sells by OD, and the ID is the critical dimension in this situation-- and being that they only measure based on OD, i'm suspicious that ID would likely have some variance to it, which could spell lots of extra work.

 

A little late but.....

 

Thank for sharing the alternative

 

Good morning everyone, I hope you have a pleasant Sunday

Finally did our taxes, hopefully there’s someone still there so I can get my $3.50 back

 

@Fargo Taco happy yesterday birthday
Morning all have a great day

 

Thank you, thank you!

 

Happy birthday @Fargo Taco !

 

Thank you!

 

being single, i only get about $0.76 back. every year i debate doing taxes every other year just to make it worth my time.

 

Hmm, that's odd. I file single (obviously) and always seem to get a decent chunk back.

 

Happy Sunday all! Couple projects today. Putting some urethane on some lumber for the porch

and trying my hand at smoking a brisket

fingers crossed it won’t be terrible!
