Gazzar Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Thanks, that's helpful. Especially as I'm on the look out for the pulley that's pictured in the parts book. There's many similar available, but not identical. Knowing the correct and alternate terms will widen my search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaghost Posted April 4, 2023 Author Share Posted April 4, 2023 A bit more 20230404_195513.mp4 Slow process... @Gazzar did you get anywhere with the measurements I asked for or is it an educated guess time....lol Regards Stephen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazzar Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 Heard nothing from @Nonimouse but he's mad busy. I might do something unwise. And use face book. I've an account that's heavily distanced from me. Otherwise it's smart guess work. But it will be this weekend at the earliest, I'm behind in my chores: I've to do domestic stuff. Small triumph: I was able to start the lawnmower, my shoulder is sore, but only disused muscle sore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaghost Posted April 5, 2023 Author Share Posted April 5, 2023 A bit more progress, way too wet outside for Sid work at the moment Milled a flat in fairlead and then drilled through Easier to see from next picture why I needed a flat to drill off the hole needs elongating with the mill but the hole will now let me sort out the gap with the fly cutter I modified the other day Regards Stephen 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaghost Posted April 5, 2023 Author Share Posted April 5, 2023 This is what I would call a neat fit..but it's doing the job and that's what counts 20230405_111632.mp4 Regards Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Poore Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Out of curiosity @Stellaghost what mill and lathe do you have? Just ordered up some ISO40 tooling for my G. Dufour mill so looking forward to being able to do some hefty milling on that finally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaghost Posted April 7, 2023 Author Share Posted April 7, 2023 Mill is a AEW Viceroy Horizon universal mill. Lathe is a Harrison 12" swing lathe Regards Stephen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Poore Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 Looks a nice versatile bit of kit. If you ever want something a bit bigger let me know I have a few friends who quite often grab bargains. The G. Dufour only set me back scrap value and collected. It did show just how capable the little JCB was. It was dead at the time with a dead starter and although I could have left it on the trailer in the workshop I needed to free up the trailer so the neighbour came around with his tractor. It could just about pick it up by taking all the strain and curling the bale spike with the slings. We managed to get it just inside the workshop door eventually by pushing it sideways with a bottle jack off his tractor (JCB was slightly in the way). Once I replaced the starter a couple of weeks later it just simply picked it up as if it was nothing and I could move it further into the workshop.

Gazzar Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 The difference between a JCB and a tractor hydraulics is significant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaghost Posted April 7, 2023 Author Share Posted April 7, 2023 Last bit for today Fairlead pulleys gap now Machined out to 22.5mm There's a small ridge left at the top where the cutter just cannot quite reach, that will be taken out with an end mill when I complete the slightly larger gapped elongated section nearer the shaft Regards Stephen 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaghost Posted April 13, 2023 Author Share Posted April 13, 2023 A tad more progress More milling Needs a bit of fine tuning with the die grinder 20230413_185742.mp4 Mainly milling both external sides and shaft hole to bore out Regards Stephen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you should say that, I'm coming down to Wrexham on Thursday morning to pick a Bridgeport mill up, Getting it onto the trailer and then into an already full garage will be a different story.......

Ed Poore Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 Well if it had been Friday then I could have given you a hand as we'd be on the way to Oswestry. @Jon W is nearish so might have some useful contacts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaghost Posted November 27, 2023 Author Share Posted November 27, 2023 Small indexable grooving tool finally came through the post circlip groove now cut in This is where we are at, going to set up on my rotary table and mill the rest of it down to leave the webbing, after that I will knock up a pulley blank to test clearances in the pulley gap then it will be just to clean up and bang it down to @Gazzar regards Stephen 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
