I have a ‘36 engine I am putting in my 1929 model a and I need to use a ‘46 crank pulley to fit my fan but the pulley is sloppy on my crank. I did not know the early cranks had a smaller diameter snout. Can I sleeve and machine the ‘46 crank pulley?

There are adapters around for the purpose...it will not only sleeve it..it willl extend the lenght to.

Have you changed direction on fan mounting? Or maybe I'm misreading your post? How's the distributor situation going?

Where could I find one? I don’t see them in my parts catalogs.

No the fan and hub is from a ‘46 also. It is the only fan/generator that I could make work for my application.

Must be available from the dealers on here...i found 2 NOS and a few on the cranks in the rack when checking.
I sell you one but shipping and customs may be an issue.

Can’t say that I have ever seen one of those. I will look for one but if I can’t find one I may need to buy one from you.

Try Fred at Southside Obsolete.

Vanspeed · 03-02-2020, 12:18 PM

I called Fred and he says the piece I am looking for does not exist. I am going to have one machined.

I can check what shipping would cost...send me a PM.
Can´t imagine anyone wanting to machine that part for less then $50-100...

It may seem odd to be getting flathead parts from Sweden, and I've said it before, but Murre is the real deal. I don't know about shipping from Sweden, but I just sent a condenser to someone there and it was $38 for shipping and 5-8 business days.

Thanks to Murre, I am getting one of his sleeve adapters. I have searched high and low and cannot find what he has over there. Wondering if what he has is a Europe only part? I will let you guys know when it arrives as I can’t believe I am the only guy that needs a later pulley on an early engine.
