Does anyone know any suppliers of flat belt pulleys?

For a pto or for a shaft? What size?

We have a lot of old ones, plenty of them are kicking around the country side if you look hard enough.

A pto adaptor to flatbelt is fairly common as well, but may need mods for a newer tractor.

1 7/16" or 36.4 mm bore size x 8" or 10" dia. x 4" min. width.
This is to fit a keyed shaft.

TSC has flat belt pully material on spools in stock.. cut to fit.. pay by the foot. they also sell the splines to link the belting...

it looks like rubber faced on both sides, with cords in the middle.

The pulley I am looking for will be going on my continental 4 cylinder
engine. I would prefer it be made of steel.....and I will be using it to
drive my saw mandrel for cutting fire wood.

Not sure what size pulley is on your saw, but I hope you figured the ratio. Years ago, me and a buddy of mine hooked his 830 John Deere, the largest and last of the 2 cylinder line, to his buzz saw. I'm not sure how big the belt pulley was on the old J.D., but the one on the saw was approx. 4". At an idle, the saw blade was actually whistling!! Sounded like wind through the trees..!! We shut it down, and decided to put my little BN Farmall back on.

Do you have a Rockford clutch on the engine..??

Might be a thought to keep your eyes peeled for an old hammermill setting around. I have an old Montgomery Ward I still use. It is a cast pulley, approx. 4" dia. and approx. 8" wide. Not sure of the shaft size, but sounds close to that.

Even at a 1 to 1 ratio, if you keep the rpm's up to keep decent oil pressure, it should be turning plenty fast to cut wood..

There is a fellow on ebay that has 50 different pulleys... Some close to the size you want. Only problem in the shaft bore size. One is 1 3/16" and another is 1 11/16... Not sure what it would be like to have the smaller one bored, with that keyway in there. Does look like plenty of meat left to bore it though... Maybe easier to make a sleeve for the 1 11/16"??

Here is a link to the one pulley if you care to look...
