ptree Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I built a Rusty type, used the large pulley as a flywheel. Then converted to a spare tire drive. MUCH better! Easier to build as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyGeorge Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Hey Johnny. Look at my thread about "Remodeled Treadle Hammer/Motorized". I show some pix of what I did with the pulleys. Get a bunch of ideas and sift thru them. Then pick out the ones that will work for your situation. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
