Looking for pulleys

[KK]

Anyone know where to find them, preferably with some sort of lift advantage.

Before Nik😉, or some other anal person says google, I'm looking also.

how are you going to use them?

you need little ones or big ones? for use with ropes or chains? or belts?

probably 1/2" nylon rope or 1/4" cable. Lifting a deer feeder with about 225 pounds of feed.

Though for what you're looking to do, you could probably find a cheap hoist at Harbor Freight or Home Depot.

sounds like a premade block/tackle is all you need

$10

This 4-wheel hoist provides the pulling/lifting power needed to lift deer, elk and other big game for field dressing. The wheels multiply the power, doing most of the work, when you pull on the strong, long lasting polypropylene rope. The block-and-tackle mechanism minimizes the work when lifting big game for cleaning, cooling, etc. This rope hoist is made with smooth operating nylon pulleys and a rust proof zinc-plated housing that can hold up to 2000 lbs.

* Nylon rollers
* Welded rings
* Zinc-plated housing
* 65' long 3/8" polypropylene rope
* Zinc plated, drop forged eye sling hooks and clip
* Maximum weight: 2000 lbs

Cool, I was just looking at some auctions on ebay, they wanted 20 bucks for what looked like the same exact thing.

I looked at lowes(I know it's not a true hardware store) this morning but they just had single wheel pulley thingy and they wanted 15-20 for that. Looks like what Fobot linked to sounds reasonable.

Excuse my ignorance, but a deer feeder is for... feeding deer?

How come?

Ya know I tried to find a plastic pulley with a 2"-3" wheel on it to use to hook my dog up to and I couldn't find anything anywhere. They come in sets at the pet store but you can't buy them separately apparently. At least not for cheap.

maybe so you know where they are when you want to shoot them??

I can run to the supplu store 3 blocks from my house and get you what you need. I was just looking at their selection of pulleys the other day, though I don't remember the prices. LMK, I can priority mail them to you

Thanks for the offer redly, might take ya up on that offer if I can't find anything locally.

You think Ace would have them?

Ha! I should try that at work with the Krispy Kremes. 😀

if you want to look local, check farm supply stores, like places that sell feed and seed. places farmers go for the stuff they use on the farm
