[SEL] Old Iron Rebuild

[Bob Willman]

	I am in the process of putting together a lineshaft driven
blacksmith shop driven by a 25hp Superior type C gas engine. Other than the
engine, which right now is not running very well, the latest project is
belting up a camel back drill press that had been converted to electric
drive. The tight pulley / free pulley clutch was missing and I am in the
process of making the pulleys and the belt shifting mechanism. The guide
support for the shift rod is still there as is the lower jack shaft with
step pulleys. I am using a split wooden pulley with a split steel bushing
for the tight pulley and a one piece wooden pulley with delrin bushing for
the free pulley. Some day I might get it finished.

Don't know the name for a special tool, but with overhead lineshafting, the
simple mechanism to shift the belt between fast/loose pulleys was called the
"Striking Gear",  which I suppose does describe a stick fairly well . . .
