    Hey all,

    I’m looking for an adapter for my front crank pulled to install my driveshaft for my hydraulics. I need to adapt to a spicer 1280, but don’t need to add any pulleys. Has anyone seen an adapter like this?

    Thanks
    John

    Thanks Tony. I saw that picture and the double pulley kit. Looks like I’ll be going that route. Thanks!

    John,

    I have been doing this for a long time and I have never seen what you want.. The nose of the crank is inset inside the Damper on all of the B’s & QSB’s, and this alone makes it tough to adapt anything to it. Using the factory “pulley kit” allows the use of “factory parts” with very little modification to adapt.. It’s all about “time of the lathe” in our case.

    Certainly doable if someone has the time ($$) and the talent.

    Tony
