Ours aren't
They are 100% as original, but of course you pay for that
Only for the purists  |
Are they ready yet?

yes, this sample one in the photo does not have the keyway cut yet, and the inner step above the OT is not fully cut and it is CNC cut from a solid billet... we could make them from a steel billet but I am not sure its needed, if we made these from steel it would ad more machine time to CNC process and increase the bottom line price

An original Pre-A "OT" pulley is made of ductile iron.
All the reproductions seem to be made of aluminum.

Is there an easy way to tell the difference between an original and a repro? I searched around and don't think I've been able to find a good picture of an original. Basically I'm thinking that the repro's have really boxy letters for "OT". Also, sometimes there is no "seam" or mark at the top of the pulley.
like these:
(no mark)
(has mark)
These are repro's, but really nice ones, they seem to have the correct look as an original (I'm assuming):
Can anyone familiar with the originals give us a lesson on the small differences between the originals and reproductions? I know the nice repros are really expensive, but they look A LOT better then some of the lower end repros I've come across. Just want to make sure my assumptions are correct before commiting to buy anything.
Thanks |

There needs to be a notch on the inside for the woodruff key right?

| Hello guys Maybe this is a stuped question but I bought a big nut and pulley setup for the generator for my 36 hp. The guy I bought it from said the crank pulley was needed because of the offset does this matter with the ot pulley? |

It seems obvious that from the reactions here there is a demand for a bolt on replacement with the stock oil sling. Especially for the price indicated by Anthony. I can count 5 or 6 here already (I will take 3  ).
What would be the lead time to get such item reproduced (again)? |

Yeah, me too, bolt on, with oil slinger, and the correct size to keep the same pulley ratios/cooling.

Roy used to make a billet OT pulley here in the USA but their was little interest... I think they were around $100-$150 depending if you wanted a sandblasted finish like shown or fully polished ect...
we use to stock them, if there is new people interested I could inquire about making another run of them.... stock slinger and sand seal if necessary...
