aaaaarrrr the link fancy style

Not as old as I thought 

I am sure that there was another thread, started my "me" steve that is, search his posts and mine may well help you out. 

I machined a "thin ?" sleeve, outer  outer NS 1 -3/8 inner Int 30, works for me and easy to machine. The tapers are the same

Not sure how to inplant a link properly, used to but old age has struck, lol

Above is one thread, there were others, started by Steve aka "me", he bought a Herbert back of last year.

Do a serch on "Herbert" will turn up other information.

Probably the easiest way is to find someone with gas cutting kit ........or the grinder suggestion.

I am not a perfectionist but it would irritate me if the pulley had an head ache and would have to fix it with a bonded in bush bored correctly to the rim, I would not drill it !

I am guessing that the machine doesnt run 24/7 ? so would not worry about wear issues myself, belt will last for "ages".

Others may have different thoughts, as just seen above heat issues ?

Might not be a cheap job if corrosion has attacted the tracks etc. Henderson is very nice gear, but not cheap, F.H. Brundle have a selection of door gear also.

Good Luck, risk assessment and safe working plan spring to my mind also !

That brought the Linux users out , I have been one for over 15 now .

There are none so blind as those who don't want to hear ? ? ? Think I got that quote wrong ? ? ? lol

No possible in this case, but a mate always said I like to go in home after the job has gone well, rather than pushing things and finishing on a disaster.

I don't think that would clamp up if was part of the main casting? A little more information would help to see what is going on, a picture is worth a thousand words as they say, so two pictures must be worth two thousand words etc.

Made me smile more than once, didn't see about the ones who put up an answer exactly the same as a couple more up post cos they have added their solution without reading the thread.

Oh dear I haven't read all the posts lol.

Yes, you rember correctly Howard, but as I said I had fitted a 2.2 BMC diesel, used in alot of taxis, which had an in line pump. Slowest thing on the road around these parts, except for milk floats. The heater plugs in those series 2 engines were wired in series, if one failed you had no chance !

We will be talking frozen fuel on a cold journey next, cured by a heated filter housing, which was a joy at last adaption .

I have enjoyed this thread, lots of fond? memories.

Pilot error, dual post, I blame the internet.

Once you needed Easy start it was the begining of the end, burnt all the crap out that was sealing your rings.

I once had a Landrover with 2.2 BMC diesel fitted that fired up like that, cold Start button, that just chucked loads of fuel in, good for going up hill loaded, they were not supposed to be accessible from the driving seat, it used to fill the yard with Fog.

I think the answer is in the name, you would have to be one to pay their prices. lol

I used 3 of those those cheapo bearings top and bottom on my bandsaw guides, side and end thrust and am amazed how long they have lasted with the loading that they have taken.

My input at post no 11 to try to solve this, small or big, problem, lol.

Cast iron and plate sort of tells me its an angle grinder job without much doubt, could be wrong often am, as the wife she will confrim that for sure, again without much doubt !

I go with The Bear, on both of his points. lol

Depends what final result you want,appearance wise? To my mind a bolted on plate as mentiioned, L shaped of you want, with a deep vee either side, heated and filled in by someone who can run a rod would be a succesfull repair.

I am thinking this a not a highly stress part, but as someone mentioned why did it crack?

Pete

And I thought it was just me who was grumpy about this load off rubbish. I have had to resort to the switch, could stand no more of it, should have been a nicer experiance.

There would be even more blubbing if there were bills presented on collection, say x hours at say £40 -50 an hour = 850 notes sir, lol. ......."no way, wish I had left it neglected now"

So the "experts" are paid by the program makers, I would like to see the paperwork ?

I have been a linux fan for years so don't normally spend money on software, but recently upgraded my qcad package for a very reasonable 30 ish pounds. I have used qcad for over 15 years, recently tried some free packages but for me nothing matches up to qcad. There will be other opinions.........

I have been looking for something that will run on my recent chromebook, Librecad is an option.

Qcad is linux windooz and mac by the way, free no hassle trial is also available. 

Projects look good.

Found it they do lots of thing engineering , I had a chat with the welding instructor, he said he would tailor the time to whatever was requested.

Noting like someone telling you how to do it and then watching and saying where you are going wrong. I seem to remember they are somehow connected to R- Tech, nice machines and you get your fee back if you buy an expensive model.
