Idler Pulley Repair Saves Farmers $640

Idler Pulley Repair Saves Farmers $640 FARM SHOP Repairs 31-4-38 Dale Denton, Cowden, Ill., is a retired machinist with a well-equipped country shop. He has a reputation for being able to rebuild expensive farm equipment parts for a lot less than new. One of his most cost-effective repairs is the way he rebuilds the main idler pulley on older New Holland combines. New pulleys cost about $700 but he rebuilds the old ones for only about $60. Denton bores out the old pulley and puts in a new sleeve so he can install the original size bearing. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Dale Denton, RR 1, P.O.
