Help - got an old drum carder

Recommended Posts

Problem is, I don't know what it is. It is pretty old - more than 20 years old. It has a stylized sheep logo on the side that is unfamiliar to me. I need to get a belt for it and am not sure where to start (or even how what pulleys to attach the belt to - there are four of them and their layout doesn't make much sense). Any help would be greatly appreciated. If someone can tell me how to upload a couple of photos, they would tell a much better story.

Some links for you to look at.

The bottom one will possibly be the most useful.

Have fun.

Boy, a picture is worth a thousand words! Now I know how the belt goes on - and I am going to try going down to the automotive store to see if they have anything that might fit the bill! Thank you so much for the quick response.

Hi! I have an old carder too... based on the description of the logo, I'm wondering if your carder is a Pat Green like mine. They are great people to deal with... call their toll free number and they sell the belt that you need.

If it's an old one then it's probably just a deluxe like mine. They're fairly simple. I can scan the little description I have for putting the belt on...

 

Hope this helps...
