Well there are not any/3 threaded holes, as you can see in the photo. Max diameter is ~ 7.5"

Probably need one with 3 arms to grab it from the rear.

Been searching on ebay and haven't found one so far.

If you know the ideal one, pls provide update. Will also need one to reinstall pulley too.

thanks

    I used a regular 3 arm puller on it. Nothing special. Use the crank bolt to reinstall.
  • Does anyone have an extra that is FOR SALE ? If so, please PM me .

    YOU CAN TAKE A BIG SPLITING WEDGE AND PUT IT BETWEEN THYE BLOCK AND THE BALLANCER AND JUST BANG IT OFF IF YOU DON'T HAVE A PULLER IT'S A OLD JUNK YARD TRICK I'VE DONE MANY TIMES WHEN I FIND A DUBBLE PULLY ON A 55 OR 56 HORNET I NEVER GO HOME WITH OUT IT
  • false alarm - forgot I had some extenders to widen and increase the diameter; looks perfect now.

    It looks like something else is wrong here?. It appears the damper has been beat on before and the end is mushroomed badly?. Just looks like it is on too far from the pictures?.

    Where can one obtain new rubber disc for the dampener assembly?
  • Call me picky (most do) but I prefer a 3/4 UNF stud and a ball thrust bearing to push the damper/dampener (take your pick) into place. I like the idea of not utilizing the female crank-snout threads for this porpoise, and I definitely would never beat the crap out of one as is evidenced in that first m6ride photo. Yuk!!
    True, they don't press that hard but there's a good way to do it.
  • I'm not really showing it off....it appears frequently in photos 'cause I'm often holding the camera with the "good" hand. That's the result of a Bridgeport bite in '73. I recommend against doing what I did. I lost 20 minutes of work over that incident.

  • Wellllll, it was a step-pulley drive machine, but the oweeee was the result of trying to one-up the day-shift production numbers by "streamlining" the facing operation on a boss on a forged Aluminum bellcrank. I found that I could do the cut without clamping the part down if I held it tightly against the stops of the holding fixture, thus trimming valuable seconds off of the production time. Yeah, right.
    Actually, that part went OK, it was when I reached in to remove the part from the fixture that it became painfully evident that I hadn't cranked the table quite far enough for my thumb to fit between the part and the 4000 rpm, 7/8ths, 3/4 shank, two flute Weldon end mill without some interference. I can see it like it was yesterday.
    My current machine is a #1-1/2 ACRA, 10X54 VSD and I don't suppose I'll ever have anything else. I've often heard that old saying that "I'd rather run a worn out B/P than a new Import" but this machine has done very well for me at the level of precision I generally require and the price was right plus being close enough to go get it with a pick-up.....but not legally.
    A local Aircraft/Aerospace machine shop had two and were pleased with them so I went for it. They were largely for maintenance work or non-aircraft jobs but the operators liked them just fine. Ever seen a 5 axis Milacron? They had several. Wow, what a fun machine to watch! I have a 207MK but it's not yet under power. Some day..........

  • Some day we should slam a couple of brewskies (figure of speech) and tell war stories about the close calls in the shop. There was the time I .......well never mind. I don't want to spoil the fun later.
