Looking for plans for band mills without auto tires

 :D  :D ....... I like the title of this post and now the final post by the author....

That advice came from a man who knows.

Looking at the pics of Homey you went through the gamut of figurin stuff out.

Off to the wrecking yard....

I used a rear wheel drive axel for the drive side and a rear spindle from a front drive car for the idler side for mine. I turned the axel down to fit the pillow blocks I had(1 1/4 " ) .Richard

Here is a good reference if anyone is looking for axle sizes:  http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billavista/PR-BV60/index1b.html   Scroll about 2/3 of the way down the page to the chart labeled STRENGTH COMPARISON OF COMMON O.E. AUTOMOTIVE & RACING SPLINES.    Gives lots of info on axle shaft sizes.

On another note I'm going with the 1.25" shaft.  I have something kinda neat planned.  When I get it back in a week or two I'll post pictures.  I'm going to have to visit a machine shop after all.......
