Ok guys, new year, new problem.
We had the head of our 114A rebuilt and it's working great. Now, the sprockets in the gear box that run the fan have stripped out. We had one of the sprockets custom made a few years ago since it was in such bad shape. The woodruff key had eaten away the slot for the fan pulley.
The custom made sprocket was sought out by my predecessor and in hindsight, we should've had both sprockets made. The original one in the gear box and pretty worn out and chewed the custom made one up.
Any idea of where we could get these parts?
I've called Hlavinka"s equipment in Taft, TX (who also rebuilt the head) and they have a guy that might have the part. But might isn't good enough and we need some parts.
