Re: Sickle mower pulley
take the pulley off, check the splines on the shaft and pulley, if they are worn out you will not be able to tighten it

Re: Sickle mower pulley
The previous owner of the one I am working on must have been a brick mason at some point in his life and had some left over nails. I wouldn't recommend it I am just sharing the photo.

Re: Sickle mower pulley
I don't necessarily recommend the fix, however. After wearing out the splines on three pulleys and a shaft I bored out the old style pulley and repaired with a spline from Hub City (a second time). I then, reluctantly, welded the pulley to the pto shaft. No problems since. The Cub is dedicate to the sickle mower (and pulling). PS you can still remove the shaft to replace seals and bearings. Bob

Re: Sickle mower pulley
I am with Bob on his fix. I had both pto shaft and pulley with wornout splines. Since both in this condition were useless, I elected to weld them together. In the future the shaft can still be removed to replace if desired.
I chucked the shaft in a lathe with the pulley located in place. Using the tool bar as an indicator to check pulley for run out, I tack welded pulley to shaft. Removed pulley and shaft assembly and welded solid. Works great!

Possibly, using cut nails, to get the pulley turning true, then welding it, would work. If the splines are worn, the only proper fix, is a new shaft and pulley. Welding it on will get the job done, if you don't need the PTO for other uses.

Re: Sickle mower pulley
OK! Thanks everyone! May try the nails first = did have a flat belt pulley on it but can use that on one of the other cubs so the weld job may be the process of choice for right now. eventually do it right w/new parts. Dusty B
