elcamino/wheelhorse 9,326 #1 Posted November 24, 2022 I installed the new drive pulley on the Waldomobile by aligning the outside edge of drive pulley and trans pulley with a straight edge . The bearing sleeve extends 1 1/4 inches beyond the end of of the crank shaft . Does that sound right ? The instructions for the PTO does not give any measurements. Help ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,741 #2 Posted November 24, 2022 That is a lot. How long is the crankshaft, should be around 3-1/2" What engine is it?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,637 #3 Posted November 24, 2022 @elcamino/wheelhorse have a picture of that issue ? pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcamino/wheelhorse 9,326 #4 Posted November 24, 2022 It is a 8 hp K181s with a 3 1/2" crank . I checked the bearing sleeve on my c-120 1974 and it is even with the end of the shaft. I checked the original drive pulley with the new pulley and they are exactly the same size. The old drive pulley was only a 1/16 off the block so I adjusted the new pulley to that measurement and the bearing sleeve is 7/16 inched from the end of the crank. I have several old bearing sleeves and they are all the same length. I can't remember if the bearing sleeve extended on the crank when I went to remove it and pulley but I have a vague memory of the sleeve being longer than the crank. Any suggestions would help. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Snoopy11 5,714 #5 Posted November 24, 2022 I second what Pete said. We need pictures. I think I understand what you are saying Jim... but I need to see it before I give advice... Don 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcamino/wheelhorse 9,326 #6 Posted November 24, 2022 Okay pictures are attached I hope . The 3 rd picture is with the pulley attached. I measured crank shaft before installing pulley. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you didn't like the look of how it extends, you could probably hack some of the sleeve off with a band saw... but personally, I'd leave it alone.

When you take it to the band saw, do a video, I wanna see the sparks. Edited November 26, 2022 by lynnmor 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL Seriously though... back some time ago, I found what I think were called Milwaukee 'extreme metal' band saw blades that have cut through some sick materials. 1 blade has lasted me innumerable cuts of ridiculous metals where I would normally use a grinder. Might be something to look into @lynnmor Don 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcamino/wheelhorse 9,326 #10 Posted November 25, 2022 Thanks for all the suggestions , I think I will just leave the sleeve alone. I 'll check out sleeve at the BS to see if there are different lengths. Now is there some secret way to hold my tongue or hand shake to get the gear shift in a 8 speed. correctly . I have tightened the dog point screw 25 times and removed the same and I can't seen to get the shift lever in correctly. If it is not raining tomorrow , I will take pictures of what I am trying to describe. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8ntruck 7,019 #11 Posted November 25, 2022 That kind of looks like the way the PTO bearing race fits the crank on my C-195. That is a KT19, that I believe is original to the tractor. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you look down in the shifter hole the top of the 2 shift forks should look like a square, centered in the hole. If one side is offset use a large flat bladed screw driver to align it. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retired Wrencher 5,465 #13 Posted November 25, 2022 @elcamino/wheelhorse I just used a .025 set block on this. I hope this helps. Happy Holidays to you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 41,158 #14 Posted November 25, 2022 Waldo. I have another sleeve off of an 8 popper in the shop. I'll measure it tomorrow. I'm in the recliner after working all day and fixing the clothes dryer when I got home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcamino/wheelhorse 9,326 #15 Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) The dogs sleeping on you ? The bearing sleeve I installed is the same as the one I took off. I am going to try to see how it runs tomorrow. I am concerned about the pulley clearage to the block . Only about 1/16 inch.
