Need help with a TSC 16' electric hay elevator

What killed this ole conveyer was the brass bushing the held the shaft for the 12"v belt pulley and the 3" sprocket. The metal wasnt thick enough so I welded in a piece of angle iron for support. I found a flanged needle bearing to use instead a brass bushing. After installing the shaft and pulleys/sprockets I figured out I needed a pillow block bearing to keep the shaft from being pulled by the belt or chain.

I basically rebuilt the drive chain shaft completely due to all the bushings were shot and the shaft was worn. Sozzie helped me out with finding a new drive chain sprocket. Thanks again!! Next spring I need to make a shield for it. My wife about stuck her boot in the drive belt while moving hay. :banghead:

I ended up with $200 when it was all done. Thanks for all the input.
