Title: Prevost XL45 Fan Belt Pulley Needed
Post by: OneLapper on March 28, 2017, 09:58:07 AM
I figured I would ask if anyone has a new or used spare fan belt pulley.

It's a 10 ribbed pulley, 6" in diameter, and Prevost thinks it's made of silver.

I need one, but two would be ideal.

Thanks

Hmm, I added the links because the images don't seem to be working correctly.

You might get an estimate from a machine shop to have one made.

I'm working on that but the shop would need to make the cutting tool to make the V ribs so they didn't think it would be cost effective to make just one.

I'm sure it's an industrial pulley, I just haven't found a source yet.

is that the gear drive pulley on the engine. Not crankshaft, mine all measure 5 1/4 approx diameter. 10 rid   1 slick idler--one driven ribbed and one ribbed idler.  looking closer at your picture I think the ones I have are on engine and you need one actually remote on fan drive.  I'll have to look further.

Curious, what is Prevost asking for silver stuff?

Prevost prices are odd.   Some items are less expensive than you think.  Example, a 47mm double roller bearing that's $124 everywhere online and at the industrial bearing shop, but Prevost sells it for $21.00.  This pulley is a $89 pulley if I could find it, but they want $368 for it.

Gas struts, cheap, $20. each.  Transmission cooler, not cheap, $1138.  A 18" long CAC pipe crazy not cheap at $237.  Windshields dirts cheap!  As low as $79 each.  Side windows, NOT cheap, $650.

A $23 rebuild kit for the G74 accessory air filter I found for $1.75 at Imperial Supply (which is owned by Grainger, and they can order any Grainger part number, and sell it to you for less than Grainger). 

I'm on a tight budget but I'm determined to do this right, so I spend a lot of time looking for the cheapest sources.
