My compressor just flipped another belt, the pulley on the compressor head has about .5" of wobble and I think that's what's causing the belt to give up, only happens every couple years but I thought it was time to see if I can fix it.
There is no ID tag on the compressor head but the name plate on the mounting plate says Kellog Model EM33-E. The shaft is strait, I put an indicator on it and turned it over by hand so the wobble is in the pulley. My original thought was to bore out the center and bush it back down to the shaft size but my lathe isn't big enough to grab it by the outside. the pulley outside diameter is 22.5". After getting the pulley off the compressor I'm not sure if I can do the bore and bush because the hub has a thin extension on it that might be compromised by the bore.
Any suggestions for straitening this thing out? I have a HF 12 ton press and a porta power to work with.
