I made a band clamp for the largest pulley.
It slipped when I tried to remove the chuck.
I put an inner tube under the clamp and it sill slipped.
I made a second band clamp for the next smaller pulley.
I had two tack welds holding a nut on a 1" bolt, which was in the chuck jaws.
With a 4 ft pipe on a 3/4 inch breaker bar, the welds broke.
I welded the nut much better the second time.
Both clamps still slipped.
I engaged the back gear and it came loose.
Yes, I could have engaged the back gear first and MAYBE not have suffered any damage, but I had a bad feeling about doing it that way, and when I ignore that VOICE, I usually suffer the consequences for it.
TY everyone
