    Nice. He might need a spacer to ensure it is correctly aligned with the drive pulley, but that could work. The pulley does say it is...

    Ok, so I think I have all the numbers now. If I was to machine a new pulley from billet, it would probably look like this (although I'd...

    Not a problem actually -- the 1/8" broach is an A width as is the 3mm broach. I tried it and the 1/8" fit perfectly in the 10mm bushing...

    Glleneben, Dan is HIGHLY knowledgeable in hydraulic systems and well worth listening to. The first rule of troubleshooting is to...
