johnnymag3 2,515 #5 Posted September 26, 2020 There are no threads left down low where it needs to have threads...the previous owner was overzealous, and ruined the threads Now its my headache to repair / replace for a customer... thanks, john Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its ruined so you can't make it worse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goldnboy 910 #11 Posted September 26, 2020 If the top pulley is cast iron its a double d spindle. If its metal then take the nut off on the pulley end if you see a Grove in the pulley for a keyway its a 3/4" spindle shaft if it is all round then its 5/8".
