Lawn Ranger C-121 0 #1 Posted August 14, 2017 I have a '78 C-121. The 8 speed stopped engaging, all gears. A friend is going to rebuild it and gave me a Uni-Drive, supposedly a 5053 out of a 1966 1056, to use in the meantime. With all the info and pics I've looked at on this forum, I believe that to be correct. Here's the issue...input pulley. I just went to put this thing together with the substitute 5053 trans and...there's no drive input pulley on it. He's on vacation so, I can't get the one off of my 8 speed, if it would even fit. Local Toro dealer basically gave me a blank stare. I (and the Toro dealer) cannot find any info/specs/diagrams for this, just the internal parts. What are the specs for the 5053 drive input pulley? I know it's a 3/4" shaft so, I.D./bore is 3/4". What's the O.D.? Sheave/belt width? Anybody have one for sale? All help appreciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 49,182 #2 Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) I believe what you are looking or is a 7232 pulley, OD is 4" and takes a 1/2" drive belt. The pulley is not shown on the transmission IPL, it is shown on the tractor IPL. They are around and plenty as they are a common pulley. picture here in this thread contact @daveoman1966the author of that thread ..bet he has one or http://a-ztractor.com/ will have one for sure. excuse my manners....

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,102 #3 Posted August 14, 2017 7232 is for the early 6-speed models for a 5/8" shaft. 1611 used on the 856 is also 4" but for a 3/4" shaft and uses a #9 Woodruff key and 1/2" belt. I think the 5425 pulley for the 1056 was the same but used a longer belt. Don't know why the part number is different - there has to be something. 856 and 1056 both used the 5053 transmission.

Racinbob 11,237 #4 Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) You may not want to use what those 1/2" pulleys and find a 5/8" since that's what your drive belt is on the C-121 Edited August 14, 2017 by Racinbob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lawn Ranger C-121 0 #5 Posted August 18, 2017 Thank you for the help guys! I'm looking for a 1611. I'm not going to worry about the belt width difference, as this is supposed to be a temporary situation. (Yeah, I just jinxed it. I know!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
