Measured against both sides of the control sheave.

(180-144) / 2 =18 degrees

I’ll have to remove the bearing before measuring the shaft, sleeve, and bearing seat depth.

I tried setting the protractor to 142 to see if the angle could be 19 degrees, but it wasn’t even a close fit.

Here is an update on progress…
3D hard surface models created in Blender software.

Item 13, 501324 Assembly - Idler Shaft (nut, washer, shaft, 2x bearings, 2x spacers, eccentric, set screw, 2x E-Clips)

Item 14, 501320 Key

Item 15, 501207 Sheave - Idler Shaft

Item 17, 501325 Sheave - Control Assembly (Cam Follower, 2x roll pins, bearing, over molded sleeve, sheave)

I remember this work you were doing.

Great info.

Thanks Dwayne
