Anyone use this?
I have one in my parts cabinet. Was on my truck for a couple years. The bearings inside those things are too small, so they are literally at their design limits any time they’re being used. Life expectancy was crap.
The pulley currently on my truck is based upon the original steel one and has really significant increases In the capacity of the two sealed bearings. It’s been on the truck for about 4-5 years. The design is courtesy of another Fordbarner and the machine work was done by Summers Brothers. It’s a nice piece.
