Help Me Find A Pulley

[HawkinsHollow]

Could you keep the stock clutch and sprocket, and convert the cutting head to chain sprocket? You could then fit a chain with the cutting teeth ground off, or perhaps just buy a toothless drive chain.

The Forest Service had some experimental units which were supposed to get you down to bare mineral soil, by flinging the covering organic soils all over the poor fool running it. They had a chain sprocket on the flinging head.

Thats not a bad idea. But I might just buy one of the cheaper ones that take a chain and be done with it. They are half the cost anyways. Just need to buy a toothless chain. I liked the compactness of the system I bought, seems like there is going to be a lot of leverage having this thing on the end of a 20" bar. Not sure if that is a good or a bad thing yet.

The new pulleys have the clutch drum attached. Which is why the kit is brand and model specific. They probably will not work with the Makita clutch. So, you have to either attach a belt pulley to the Makita clutch drum or convert the cutting head to work with the Makita chain.
