stvaughn 22 Posted December 12, 2018 I need a pulley for a 955R Delco-Remy generator. Does anyone know of a source for these? Thanks, Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tinindian 746 Posted December 12, 2018 Any auto electric shop should be able to supply one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stvaughn 22 Posted December 12, 2018 I’ve got my NAPA guy looking. Just trying to find out if there’s someone out there that specializes in generator parts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
certjeff1 5 Posted December 15, 2018 Steve I have looked thru several of my original Delco-Remy parts manuals and none of them show a pulley part number. Which tells me that the vehicle manufacturer supplied the pulley not Delco-Remy. I do have an assortment of pulleys. I might have something but can't promise.

stvaughn 22 Posted December 16, 2018 Jeff, I took a couple of pictures of the pulley. It has the number 3SA55 and a letter N on it. It is 3 7/8” OD with a 17mm bore, uses a 5/8” wide belt and the hub is offset approximately 1/16” from the generator side surface. The bore of my pulley is worn oversized causing the pulley to wobble on the shaft so I’m looking for one with a tight bore. Thanks for looking, Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curti 452 Posted December 16, 2018 If it is cast iron, I know a foundry that will cast it. I have reproduced generator pulleys for Auburns. You will have to balance it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stvaughn 22 Posted December 16, 2018 Thanks Curti, I’m hoping it won’t be that hard to find but we’ll see. Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mribbich@wi.rr.com 19 Posted December 16, 2018 It may help if we new the type of car the engine and year of what you need. Someone may even have a used generator. Marv. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knobless 56 Posted December 16, 2018 Is it keyed? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stvaughn 22 Posted December 16, 2018 1932 REO Model S sedan. Yes it has a woodruff key in the shaft. I have managed to get a 0.001 shim in the bore about 2/3 the way around the shaft but I don’t expect that to be a trouble free solution. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
certjeff1 5 Posted December 17, 2018 Looked thru my pulleys. The closest I have is for 26-28 Chevys and Pontiacs. It is smaller in diameter by about 1/2". From the back side to the center of the v is just over 1/2". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stvaughn 22 Posted December 17, 2018 What is the condition of the bore? Is it 17mm? Is that a set screw I see in the first picture? I do have a lead on one off of a REO but am waiting to hear from him. Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
certjeff1 5 Posted December 17, 2018 Yes it is 17mm. I tried the pulley on an armature it feels good and tight. No that hole does not go thru. Not sure why that is there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stvaughn 22 Posted December 17, 2018 Thanks Jeff, give me a day or two to see if this REO pulley materializes. What is your price? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
certjeff1 5 Posted December 18, 2018 Including shipping I would like $25.00. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’d prefer to have one with the correct diameter if I can find one. I’ll let you know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
certjeff1 5 Posted December 19, 2018 Take your time. If you can get the correct part you are better off. But at least this gives you an option and you can always keep up the search. You can never have enough parts for these old vehicles. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave39MD 67 Posted December 20, 2018 I have one. I would think a small rate box shipping would do. Send me a pm on what you think is a fair price. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sagefinds 12 Posted December 31, 2018 There is a REO frame,cowl and engine sitting in a guy's parts repository in Julesburg Colorado about that year that might be available. Don't remember much but there was no carb and the manifold hole was uncovered looking up catching rain and snow. Could probably look up the guy's name and phone number if interested. Not sure how you PM on this site but that would probably be best. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
