need a 5 inch pully and ( gloat)

[Larry and Lois]

i was given a 4 3/8 craftsman planner/jointer manufactured in the 1950's i little rusted, i took about an hour to buff the rust out.other wise it looks like it was never used, still has sharp (orginal) blades.

i found its parts list and user guide on the internet (good ol craftsman). it recommends a 1/2 horse power moter at 1750 rpm on a 5 inch pully to get the desired working rpms.

i found the moter at harbor freight. now all i need is that 5 inch pully. so far i cant find one doing an internet search. there is some local parts junk yard close by but i would like a new one.( i may rethink this according to price)

help please???

I buy all my pulleys from McMaster-Carr (mcmaster.com). Search for "pulley". Hope this helps. Joe

The last time I was at a Sears Hardware Store they had a wide assortment of different sized pulleys.
