Re: SB9 Belt Adjuster/Tensioner


 

开云体育

??? ??? The belt length is pretty dependent on the placement on the counter shaft . Page 5 of the attached manual shows dimensions of where South Bend decided the countershaft should be from the lathe . Keep in mind that the larger pulley will over hang the back of most benches . I know that I need to move rthe counter shaft on my 9A closer to the lathe so I can push my bench against the wall . Ya also may want to do some digging around at this site , a couple thousand hrs of experience with these lathes over there , it's free to sign up .

Have ya pulled the spindle to se what kind of shape the wicks are in ? If not ya may want to do that , easy to do & can save a spindle .

good luck .

Hello all, new here so I'm hoping this is getting sent to the right place.

I just picked up a 1947 C9-10JR.Most of it is there and looks pretty decent, after a quick clean it seems like everything will polish up nicely.
My problem is I'm missing the rods and adjuster nut for the belt tensioner. I'll have to make something up but I need a belt and would like to know the length of the adjuster, pin to pin.
?
I know I can make it whatever to fit whatever belt I get but would like to get the original pieces one day and not have to change the belt again if my guess is off.
I have seen the parts picture online for sale and could try to figure out the length from that, they don't seem to deliver to Canada.
If anyone knows the length or could tell me where else I could look it would be greatly appreciated.
