Gear Reducer
« on: April 02, 2022, 03:58:55 pm »
I finished the gear reducer for my Stuart oil field pump jack. Much changed from the Stuart design. I think much better.

I've always loved the Stuart oil field pump jack, nice work so far.

In the Stuart design, the pulley is inside the gearbox and to change the belt, one has to take the gearbox apart. My pulley will be on the outside of the gearbox. Easy to get to.

A sensible modification Brad, just as I like to do things.

Well done Brad.

I can't wait to see it with the Stuart Pump Jack.

I don't know what happened to Scott's Pump Jack.

It was not in his collection when I was helping his widow liquidate his collection.
