It's a mid-sized vertical mill. I'm on my iPad, so I can't upload a pic. But a google will bring up lots.

Hello all, yes I did get the pulley assembly FINALLY out of the head unit and yes I was able to PRY the pulley off the bearing hub. Took it apart and cleaned and greased the bearings. The brake shoe was a problem. It was swelled to where it would not move in the pulley. I tried heat, freezer, solvents and other things to shrink it down so it would move freely in the pulley. Finally I resorted to sandpaper. I had to sand it down quite a bit to get it to fit and allow the pulley to spin freely. Got it all back together and now it's good to go. Now for my next challenge the saddle and table gibs are missing. I have the knee gib. So the quest continues. Thank you all for all your replies and helpful advice.

I'll post a new thread and annoy everyone with gib problems now.
