Sorry Brain I didn't think why you were asking if the aluminum pulley should be replaced. I never saw a problem with the spoked pulleys, but there weren't that many ever used I suppose. In theory the smaller pulley would wear faster than the steel ones did, although this would take a VERY long time because there much more tension on the 2ndary belt on HOH dryers, so you don't have the problem with slippage that you have with the motor pulleys on HOH dryers. Aluminum pulleys often have more problems with the bronze bushings working loose, but I have never seem this happen on one of these pulleys.
In any case I would keep this pulley, not only is it unique but it also allows a better view of the dryers floor pan, LOL. |

I can practically rebuild a HoH dryer in my sleep, and they were last produced years before I came along. I like the spoked pulley because it gives a slightly better view, and it's easier to grab with a few fingers when you're reassembling the dryer and not looking at the pulley.
Not the most advanced dryer in the world, but one of my favorites to service, Dave |

That's coming from someone who was warranty service on dirt when it was just invented...
I agree with Dave! I actually like the spoked idler pulley. It's cool looking when it's in motion and different enough from the later solid pulleys to be desirable IMHO. Brian, clean and lube that bad boy just as we did on the 906. RCD |
