Timber Harvester pulley ???

[Dewey]

I have a Timber Harvester Mod 30 HT I bought it new in 1994... It has served me well for many BF and has provided my living for the past 18 years....
I need to replace the pulley that is on the hydraulic motor that pulls the saw head back and forth .... Anyone have any ideas where to look ??? OR what is the actual name of it so I can try to look on line ??

As mentioned Clouser Farm is a good source and Cooks Saw may be able to help you as well.  I've talked to Ken Clouser and he seems like a great guy.

Dewey,  TH was not a large company and most all the parts were off the shelf as they say. If you take the pulley off and go to a industrial supply co. they should have your part, and eliminate another layer of markup. Frank C.

Dewey, did you find the part you're looking for? I looked at my mill and that pulley is acting as a capstan drum, but actually looks like a pulley out of a snatch block. It appears to be 4" in outside dia, 1 1/8" wide with a 3/4" round bottomed groove. I didn't remove it to see the shaft dia, but if it is a modified snatch block pulley then the existing smooth center hole can be re-machined for the correct shaft dia and keyway if another replacement can't be located.

Dewey, is there a wire cable running on the pulley.?? My bandmill is set up that way to feed I use a "Vee" pulley and flatten the bottom of the pulley for one wrap of the cable. Some pulleys have enough flat on the bottom for the cable, especially the ones for larger series belts. Frank C.
