Large Sheave Pt 2
The next step is to rig a stub arbor so the OD and groove can be turned. The wire rope size is 7/8" so the recommended groove diameter is 15/16 - 1" Once the arbor is ready, I will add some more pictures.

Russ: Industrail wire rope suppliers have a plastic fan guage set that are the standard for wir rope grooves. It could be your guide for the final dimensions on the groove cutting.
I think there is a standard printed in the Machanists handbook too, but I did not look.
Too bad a bout the shrinks on an otherwise good casting. This is a typical flaw for that kind of part.

It is not getting caught in the rain, its learning to dance in it. People saying good morning, should have to prove it.

Re: Large Sheave Pt 2
I have at least one handbook with the essential dimensions; the basic bottom diameter is the rope diameter plus 1/16".
