As promised, here's a picture showing the replacement pulley mounted in the band saw (it's the lower one in the photo). What a difference in high range! You can't tell in the photo, but while I was in there, I made some other modifications. The wiring was pretty sloppy, so I rewired the unit entirely - from the motor to the plug. Also, the motor was mounted on a wooden block (only reason I can think of was to use a relatively short drive belt that the prior owner had on hand). I modified it so that it now mounts directly onto the base, and it is much sturdier than before. I had an extra link belt lying around (the green one), so I used it for sizing. If fits so well, that I think I'm going to leave it on.
Again, thanks to all who offered advice on where to find the pulley. This machine has never run as good as it does now.
Regards,
Terry
You happy now, 34_40?
