I'm replacing the bearings in the step pulley housing and am missing the inner locking ring. Does anyone have one they could give me dimensions off of so I could make one?

It's part #2 in the parts breakdown. Thanks for your help.

Unless someone has their machine apart to measure it, I don't think you are going to get a quick answer on this one.
 
I was hoping to turn one on the lathe instead of buying one. After all that's part of the reason we have these machines.
I know it's a long shot someone would also have theirs apart but, didn't know if someone had a spare laying around they could measure.
Thanks for the replys so far.
 
I am a little confused, you can not measure the mating part to make it fit? You should already have the info you need.
 
Randy, I can get the inner thread size from the shaft but don't know the amount of clearance between the inner and outer locknut.
Also, the outer nut has a shelf with a lip inside it. Does the inner nut screw down and contact the lip or is there a groove cut in the
bottom so it sits over the lip? Thanks
 
I am sorry George, I can not answer those questions without taking the machine apart. I think you have a decision to make, you'll either have to R & D the part fit and design or break down and buy the part. I am sorry this is the best I can help you with at this time. I know you were hoping someone already had a machine in pieces that could get you a drawing but, it doesn't look like that is going to happen. Unless you are willing to wait. Good luck.
 
It's probably a $5.00 part. I would think you could find something more complicated to make. :banghead:
