Hey folks I am looking for suggestions on truing up the pulley on my 34 flathead. Had my ears in the other day & when I started ol yeller I heard a clicking sound. Upon further investigation I saw the fan had a wobble. Pulled the generater & found the pulley nut loose still closer investigation found the pulley out 3/32 on one mounting area. Thought about truing it up in a lathe but the belt groove would still be out as it looks like that area of the pulley is bent or was cast bad. This is cast so putting it in a press is out as I don't want to break it.
