Prevost XL45 Fan Belt Pulley Needed

OneLapper · 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?

Gary at B&B Coach in Vegas may have those

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.
