Keith Browning Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I was asked for some dimensions of the pulley holder tool that I posted about. More than one member here expressed an interest in making one of these so I took it a little further and disassembled the tool for better inspection to see what it was made from and how it was put together. The pictures are slightly crude and yes, I did not use a metric tape measure as this one was all I had at hand but it gives us all of the dimensions needed. A couple of observations: Looks like the threaded rod was inserted into a slot cut into the 1" flat stock and then heavily welded from both sides. The chain was connected to the flat stock with two drilled holes. The cap was stick on the pipe - I left it on as not damage it trying to remove it but the picture shows what is going on there. The pipe is flattened slightly in the middle to act with the flat stock to prevent everything from spinning when the handle is tightened. Everything was lightly lubricated. I think the pipe is about 1-1/2" stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Amacker Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Can you give me the exact dimensions of the S-curve in the threaded rod? That looks like it's going to be tough to duplicate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 LOL! I had trouble getting that back in place. I bent it (straighter) at least 4 times before it would line up with the hole in the cap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8WA Sman Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Is the flat stock @ the bottom 1/2" x 1' & is the threaded rod 3/8" course? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forddieseldoctor Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 1/4 by 1. And yeah mine is 3/8 course. I'd post pics of my finished project but it won't let me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forddieseldoctor Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Oh that piece. I used some square tubing on mine. Something that my buddy had laying around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8WA Sman Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Dropped the order/info off @ the fabrication shop this afternoon & it's ready to pick up. My forged lever nut will not be in for a couple of days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forddieseldoctor Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Nice! I love it. One of my co-workers was worried about it marking up the pulley, but he used it anyway and found out that it doesn't. And the best part is that my buddy gave me all the pieces to build it. The only mistake I made was crimping the pipe too tightly. I will never be able to take it all the way apart.

Keith Browning Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 I would think that you should not need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
