Interesting note on the deepco... It has a keyway, and a "set"screw impinging on the keystock... but yeah... it looks like its been there awhile (I'd probably take it down to a driveline shop if I needed to get it off). Pillow bearings feel OK.. no way I can see to grease them (probably a good thing), so I'll run 'em (and the chains) and see what happens. All I need now is the drive sheave (and maybe some brakes)
Thanks all for the help & suggestions,,,
And.... Murphy rears its ugly head (argh.....)
Center to Center of the shafts is 15" I've got some adjustment here... but all the 3/4" belts are too short (I'm only seeing about a foot maximum). Cant raise engine up far enough (gas tank muffler air-cleaner get in the way) Seems I have to go to a 7/8 belt (comet 40/44?) in order to get the correct belt length (which I guess means pressing off the bearings and old sheave and...)... d'mit
