As I piece together my first lathe, a logan 200 from 1942, I have come to find everything I need on ebay except a pulley. The pulley that has me stumped is the motor pulley. The previous owner of my lathe replaced the motor and popped on a random pulley! Its just a tiny little pulley on the motor. I haven't been able to find a logan original motor, and a new one is out of my price range. So I was wondering if someone could measure the OD of the step pulleys. I think I may be able to buy 2 different pulleys and swap them on as needed - but the logan site lists a diameter and not whether that is taken where the belt sits or overall diameter. Thanks to all
 
Model 200 pulley:

Inner is 2 5/16" OD, outer is 4 1/4" OD. This is measured at the rim, not where the belt sits.
 
If you can give me a day to rummage through my logan parts I might be able to find one for you. If so you can have it for the postage. Chuck
 
You know I always wondered , as long as the motor shaft is long enough, why couldn't we stack two pully's on the motor shaft, Flat side, to Flat side, to give you your 2 speed pulley.
Or am I missing something?

Well, That's better yet. Nice of you too.
 
First off let me thank everyone for replying. That said..what a strange set of sizes! I would stack 2 pulleys but I don't think I can find those sizes. Chuck if you can find a pulley (even if the shaft is not 5/8" I can just get another motor) I would happily purchase it from you - thanks!

If you have a 4 jaw, you could dial the pulley in, and bore the hole to 5/8",and cut a key way with the lathe.

Yes - it may come down to doing some custom work. Electric motors are fairly easy for me to find though - probably would just grab myself a new 1/2hp or so.
 
Go with a 3/4 HP, you won't regret if you ever try to turn something large and expect to take some decent hogging cuts at the beginning of your work.
 
I'm sorry to say that I can't come up with the pulley for you. I cleared out a lot of stuff a while back. I think the pulley might have went with a motor. This is exactly why I hold onto stuff that others would consider junk. As soon as I get rid of it I'm looking for it.
