Headstock Assembly Questions

Post by tbirdtim »

I am in the process of assembling my headstock and have a couple of questions.

How close to the motor case does the sheave go?

Where does this bushing go?

I hope the pictures come through!!

The bushing looks like the one that goes on the motor shaft behind the fan sheave. It serves as a spacer to set the spacing between the fan sheave and the motor housing. If memory serves me correctly the spacing should be about 1/8". Or whatever the bushing will give you. The set screw in the fan sheave should hold the keyway in place.
