I have a really old PM 6" jointer I bought at an auction a few months ago.
The motor is giving me trouble, refusing to start, and also has a noisy bearing.
My question is more about the pulley on the motor. Can someone tell me what diameter pulley should be mounted on the motor? I'm thinking the motor and pulley on it is not original. It has a 3/4" shaft with an 8" pulley.
If my guess is right and a 7" pulley is a better fit, can someone give me an idea where to look for one?
The thing is, if I change the motor, I will have a hard time finding one with a 3/4 inch shaft.
Thanks,
Luke
