I went back and watched your videos on those transmissions.  Wow, that was a lot of plunge cutting on the lathe to make all those steps in the pulleys!  Awesome build!

Over the long holiday weekend I watched some of the Jensen shop tour videos on YouTube and noticed in the background an old South Bend lathe and it looked like the machinist was in the process of making some belt pulleys.  It looked familiar to me because that's what I was doing just the day before on my (not quite as) old South Bend lathe!  The amount of run time on their lathes to make all those parts for so many years must be mind boggling.
