It's a 36 inch tiller that attaches to my John Deere 317 tractor, has 2 belts that engage the tiller, by a lever. What i measured was 3-1/2 inch pulley.... Wide, enough to accomodate 2 belts on the same pulley.Is tiller tow behind tractor mechanical or hydraulic type tiller? Is F033J420911M from small data plate riveted to tiller? Can you provide us with tiller width & any other numbers or information? Thanks for your patience. Size of pulley?
Click on this link for a Stens 280-529 .
Click on the right thumbnail on the left of the page under the photo when the page opens to see how it measures up to your pulley
Ignore the BS showing a double row ball bearing, no one has done that for decades
Have a close look at your pulley because way back when it was made, quality was important so a lot of pulleys back then used custom made inner races.
Now days it is all std deep groove ball bearings with a custom bush to fit the bolt and regulate the amount of stand off .( cheapness )
Wow! I still can not find a pulley OEMWhen I took over part of the stock was a pulley assortment pegboard from Stens, Oregon, Prime Line, Rotary & Jack Max + a 25 Litre bin full of other pulleys.
The previous owner did not have either a press nor lathe so probably had around 200 different pulleys.
I have whittled that down to around 60 and usually press the new bush out with the old bush after turning a thin walled spacer so I can press against the inner race
After belts, getting my head around pulleys was the next hardest thing to do .
Down here we get ripped for OES Branded parts like pulleys
A deck idler for a Dixie Chopper was listed for $ 172 ( Aus ) & I found a standard one that fitted for $ 30 .
makes for happy customers.
