The old rusty pulley from an old barn does not have many parts, so disassembly was straightforward. In this project I have had to make several bolts new on the lathe, welding, paint spreading, sandblasting, grinding and then some. Please also note that this video is not just to quickly show someone how something works, but also to relax and unwind from the daily grind!

▶ What did I do ?! ◀
To disassemble the antique idler pulley it was enough to pull two bolts and disassemble the plain bearing to hold all the parts in my hand. After washing them off in water, I sandblasted all the parts in the sandblasting cabinet. After removing burrs and imperfections, the major components could be painted with rust preventative paint. The bolt, on the old pulley had to be replaced because the old one had too much play in the fit. The bracket, including the bolt that holds the idler pulley, also had to be rebuilt. After all parts were reassembled, the bolt could be filled with grease. As a small detail, the letters were colored to match the pulley.
