I am looking for a replacement engine crankshaft pulley for my GP. I believe the originals were pressed steel and are usually well worn by this stage in life resulting in poor oil seal sealing. Am i right in thinking that they also suffer from metal fatigue. I am therefore looking for a suitable replacement. There are replacement turned steel pulleys for the 2n 8n 9n engine which also has provision for a power take off as fitted to tractors, i do not wish to go down this route if possible and therefore look for an alternative. If all else fails i will most likely turn one out on my lathe.

Re: GP Engine crank shaft pulley
Greetings Richard,
Have you considered a refurbished crank pulley? I currently have 3 GP engines in the shop being rebuilt and everyone had wear at the sealing surface. I press a stainless steel sleeve over the worn area and now have an original pulley BUT with a clean, pit free seal area. I have the sleeve OR a refurbished pulley available.

Hi Brad
Thank you for your suggestions regards sleeving i have done this on several worn output flanges but even that won't work in this case as i don't have a crank shaft pulley to refurbish. Please advise what cost a refurbished item would be. It may be that the cost of purchase and import duty this side of the pond doesn't make it a cost viable option. My alternative option is to turn one out on my lathe as the keyway is a simple cut in the shaft rather than an internal slot.

Richard,
Pulleys range in price from $125.00 to $150.00. Depends on the finish and appearance. Painted gloss BLACK. Priority shipping USPS, to UK is an "estimate" at $65.00. I can weigh and check actual shipping if interested. Thank You!
