No I don't have the jointer and the larger pulley has a chip missing. But I will save it, maybe I can weld a piece of aluminum to the gap and shape it, or cut a piece off the headstock pulley to weld to it since that pulley is chipped as well and needs replacing. Then if i find a jointer I'm good to ...

I think one part is the original 3-step pulley and someone possibly added a single larger pulley

The picture shows the original Magna drive kit for the 4E jointer. The 3 step pulley is not the original. The original pulley bore is 5/8". The bore on the new pulley is 13/16 I think which is the ...

Getting the pulley off took awhile but I finally got it off. Speaking of the pulley I have a question about that, there are large chips on both my motor and headstock pulleys so I

Is there some "trick" to getting it apart, or is ...

Same problem, a piece of the pulley is cracked off so i wanted to replace it

Thank you very much, the penetrating oil worked great to get the drive sleeve out of the headstock. Now the pulley will not come off, even with a generous amount of penetrating oil. Any suggestions?

Hello everyone I'm Joe and I'm new to the forum. I just picked up a 10ER off craigslist and am working on restoring it. I have just about everything apart except I can't seem to figure out how to remove the headstock pulley assemble from the headstock. I removed the set screws from the headstock and ...
