MC900 Pulley
Ok boys and girls. Just picked up a MC900 for $150. Is in pretty good nick other than a dicky switch, sheared off pin for the speed control handle (now fixed) and a destroyed auto adjust pulley on the motor shaft... so, can anyone point me in the right derestriction for a replacement pulley (Melbourne east or south-east burbs preferred). It has a bore of 16mm and outer diameter of 107mmish. H&F have quoted $58 + GST + $10 postage (no pick-up available as it comes straight down from Sydney). Thanks in advance.

You should be able to see the remnants of the buggered one on the lathe bed.Craig

Check Yellow pages for "Belt Suppliers" or similar.
A few years ago when I had an MC900 equivalent, I got a replacement from an industrial supply place in Preston so I would expect that there will be a similar place over your way. You will probably have to take your old belt for comparison
Hope that helpsTom

Should also add that I'll be contacting Leda tomorrow (who I suspect sold it originally). Have already tried Carbatec, but my enquiry seems to have been completely devoured and lost for all time by their wonderful phone system.

Just going a bit off thread I had one of those I screwed ply to the back and the leg rails it really made the lathe more stable.

I have a similar H&F WL-18 which needed the same part. I got it from H&F at a similar price. Check very carefully whether the fingers of the two pulley halves mesh together once they are on the keyway. Mine didn't but fortunately only one pulley half was damaged, so I re-used one of the old halves. If they are machined wrong and you force it, they break very, very easily.

Ended up ordering a replacement pulley from LEDA. All up (inc postage) was maybe $3 more than H&F quoted price, but went straight on with no fuss and works a treat.
