First off thanks to everyone on here for the help and patiance in dealing with all my question over that last couple years.
I'm trying to finish off my tumbler but I'm stuck now.
First off I can't find a supplier that sells pulleys/sprockets at a resonable price (don't want to spend more to build then to buy out right).
Second, how do I attach pulleys, sprockets, and bushings to rods? I am mechanically inclined but have never dealt with this type of thing before. Do you have to tac weld or are there set screws or sometihing easier. Thanks all I did search....for about 1 1/2 hours!

Tape over the holes set on AIR and boom you have a tumbler that works for 50bucks max.
Tractor Supply Carries a big selection. The pulleys and gear will either have a keyway slot or have two to three set screws.
The keyway slot normally uses either a half moon key or a piece of square key.
Oh, you may wish to check a big lawn mower shop.
good advice Joe. Just tumbled a bear hide last night and it came out beautiful . Dryer was free as they needed the room and it was gas so I did'nt even have to disconnect the heating element. B.Bishop
