Does anyone know where the heck I can get a replacement pto pully for my Johnson Workhorse Loader? I have looked everywhere online and cant find one. The pully actually has the set screws (2) inside the pully itself under the belt. All I can find are pulleys that have the set screw on the side of the pulley on a part that sticks out. This wont work because it would be too wide to fit on the pto with the originall pto pully. I have the original manual but it doesnt even have a parts diagram for anything except the frame! I think it is a 1 1/8 bore, 4inch pulley.
Thanks

I know someone who makes them .. as a matter of fact he was at my house today and I ordered one for myself .. They are steel and not aluminum like the factory supplied ..

He gets $40.00 each and you wont find them anywhere else that I know of. Pm me if you want his contact info

Also Grainger has a ton of them.

I know that they are not very wide and that the set screw hole has to be in the botton of the "V" groove. I had a couple made using the original alu one as a pattern.

Yeah thats the problem they are thin and have no stub on the side like most. I already scoured Grainger, and many, many other sites with no luck. Ill probably have to check Ken in NJ's contact or try to make one from a generic one by somehow drilling inside the V and tapping. Also I notice that mine is cast iron not aluminum....

I was going to say the same thing, I've looked at many places for something even close and no luck.

My source is one of the most, if not the most knowledgeable Bolens/Johnson loader guys I've had the pleasure to meet in my bolens collecting years.

It stinks that he is not a PC friendly guy, he'd be one heck of an addition to our forum. He rebuilds them better then new, from top to bottom. I know a few here have met and dealt with him and I'm sure they'd say the same thing.

Need a large frame engine or hydro ? He has them rebuilt and sitting on the shelf. Kohlers, and Wisconsins. Eaton and Sunstrand hydros.

He quoted me $1200 for a completly rebuilt ready to install, tested K-582, and he uses only OEM parts.
