Hi everyone,
Been a while... had a monsoon winter here in California and now have finally gotten back to working on the AGS10. First thing is I need to get it up and running for a few projects before I go through the process of completely tearing it down and restoring it. I'm stuck with 120V power in my garage for the next few months until I can get a new 240v panel installed. The problem this creates is that I can't run the AGS's 3hp motor on the 120v... 1hp or maybe 1.5hp is max on that, but I do have an old 1 hp Delta Repulsion/Induction motor that looks like it will (barely) fit, so I'm in the process of swapping it. I don't want to mess with the arbor pulley at this time and the new motor is an imperial frame not metric, so the shaft is 3/4" instead of just under 1" on the 3 hp Brooks. Net, net I need a new pulley for the motor and will probably look at getting a taper lock, single V belt pulley for this temporary set up.
This brings me to some questions:
1. Does anyone have a quick answer as to what class?/type? (not sure how to phrase it) of V belt that came on these AGS? I'll attach pictures since it looks like the original belts were still on mine. I assume these are metric, I took some calipers to them and they currently measure 8.08mm wide by 6.09mm deep. That doesn't correspond to any known V belt types I've been able to find so I assumed, given these are likely original, that they are just worn down. The closest match I was able to see were the XPZ/SPZ types which measure 9.7mm across the top and are 8mm deep/thick. Also, looking at the pulleys that are on the saw I suspect the sides/taper of the belt is different than what is usually seen here in the States. What does everyone else here run on theirs and am I missing something?
2. Given the above, what type/class/name (again, not sure how to phrase it) of pulley would be a match for this original belt? I will need to find a taper lock hub that will fit on a 3/4" motor shaft and then a pulley/sheave that will match what I'm guessing is this metric based belt type...
I also have a question about the actual pulley sizes, but I'll add that in a follow up post, so I don't conflate anything. Will add a few pictures of the progress I made so far cleaning it up in a follow up post too.
Thanks for the help!
