Where to find Pulleys?

[tooblue02]

I have been doing a lot of reading on here as of late trying to figure out how to connect a 1725 RPM AC motor to my Barley Crusher and the one thing I haven't been able to locate is where to find the right pulley for this mill? I believe the shaft is 3/8" but I can't find a pulley with that ID and an OD of over 10"? Can someone please help me locate the parts to get this connected or perhaps provide a list of the parts they used to make this same setup work?? THANKS!!!!!

Just about any place that offers the pulley will also offer a reducer bushing/sheave. I used Grainger. However they tend to be hit-n-miss on whether they will sell to the public or not.

Here is one source for pulleys and bushings. OD shaft diameter for the bushings is measured to the hundredth of an inch.

I'm in the middle of doing this myself. I purchased a 12" and a 1.5" sheave with 1/2" bores from Zorotools on ebay; they have a lot of stuff and their prices were good. Fast shipping as well. My motor has a 1/2" drive shaft so that was no problem. My mill is 3/8", so I purchased a bore reducer to mate them. Line up the whole for the set screw and tighten down, you're good to go.
