As Todd mentions below, the Power Wagon belt pulleys were orginally made by New Process Gear Co., then a subsidiary of Chrysler Corporation. I've never looked into trying to track down the tooling, but I did write an article a long time ago for the PWA on these belt pulleys, which appeared in the November 1988 and December 1988 issues of the Power Wagon Advertiser. I also wrote another article on adopting a Ford 2N/8N belt pulley for use on a Power Wagon in the April 1989 issue of PWA. Ford belt pulleys are quite common by comparison. The variable speed engine governor was discussed in the March 1990 issue of PWA, and the rear PTO cover in the March 1991 issue of PWA. A Belt Pulley update appeared in the July 1992 issue of PWA. If there is enough interest, perhaps Gordon could publish a "Best of PWA" issue containing articles on topics of lasting and recurring interest. Such a resource might be handy for the "new" guys.
