Last week I picked up a 8" v belt pulley 3/4" bore. Im not sure if thats too small now. I picked up a 3" sprocket 3/4" bore 40 chain to go on the same shaft as the 8" pulley.

I think I need to swap the 3" sprocket 40 chain for a ?" 41 chain sprocket. Im not sure if 3" is correct, I just took a guess.

The smaller diameter pullys will slow it down some. Can you take a sprocket with you for matching up the chain #? Ken Sweet

Yes I can bring it in now. Its welded to the shaft so thats why I couldnt bring it in earlier.

Thanks for the info Mr Sweet, its helping me out! I found a 1/2 hp motor for $20 from a friend. I think Ill swap out the 40 sprocket out for a 41 and regroup from there.

I think it would be best for you to call into our technical department... ask for Brian. 800-842-5349. Thanks.

Here is what I ended up with. I found a 1/2 HP electric motor with a pulley on it for $20. I used a 12" weld-a-pulley, they were way cheaper then a cast pulley plus I able to use my Miller 211 MIG welder on it. I found an old belt hanging up in my barn and used it.

Behind the 12" pulley I used a 3" 40 chain sprocket and connected that with a 6" 40 chain sprocket.
