A 2-inch drive is fine. The pulleys are getting scarce in that size, but I own a lathe. I cut down 3's. Idlers for 2-inch are still out there....
I mine their shelves regularly.
dOOd! $75?! Holy crap! What a score!
You can mount the VFD adjacent to the power box on the unit. Single phase goes to the VFD, and it outputs three-phase. The Pullmax will have no...
If you get another three-phase motor, and use a VFD, you can use all the existing on-machine wiring as intended. There are new old-stock motors...
That's some Guido Brenner's collection.
That's one of my builds.
My schedule is packed, but I will see if I can get a look at it.
And additional benefit of using the VFD is that you can tune the RPM, by changing the frequency. Your P5 is intended to run at 1405rpm, and I am...
Technically, you could switch to single phase in the motor swap. The caveat is that single phase motors do not deliver power the same as a...
Here's a link to the manual, if you, or anyone else needs it: https://www.trick-tools.com/common/documentation/P5_Manual.pdf
Eeek. Stepping up voltage from 220V to over 400V will be a task. You might see if there is the possibility of swapping the motor. I used to run...
My take (extra hopped):[ATTACH]

The minor diameter of a 35-spline axle is 1.4167". The major diameter of a 31-spline axle is 1.2500". So, yes.
I have tried everything, and will not ever install anything but VA.
Yup. I had a Accel distributor in my Malibu in the 1980's. The cap and rotor were Mopar.
Uh:...
The brackets on the axle are just mild steel. [IMG] Weld on extra metal on the bottoms. That is cheap and easy, and will allow you to use an...
They will fail. The shafts are hardened, and there will be no way to not ruin that by welding, or to recreate it when you are done. Just make...

Can be had in a multi-pack, with accelerator, on that rainforest site. https://bsi-inc.com/hardware/hardware.html
Not sure I am understanding the concept of transition. Both still exist. Both existed. One did not turn into the other. Over time there were...
It would be hard to get both in the same chassis.
Still the same thing. Of course everyone believed that it would not happen to them. Denial does alter reality. When the outcome of a crash...
Those can certainly be re-drilled, but you might want to check into just swapping them. That way no machine work is required now, or when they...
What brakes are on the front? Are they original drums, or aftermarket discs? Original hubs and drums can likely be re-patterned, although I...
What wheels are unique or rare enough that it would be cost effective to buy them, and then pay a machinist to make the necessary modifications?...
What could possibly go wrong?
Separate names with a comma.
