Is is normal or common for a double crank pulley to get bent. Mine on my M38 wobbles like it is bent. Thanks, Sonny _________________ 1951 M38, 1952 M38, 1952 M100,1946 Bantam T3-C, RT-66/GRC, PP-112/GR, MT-299, DT-44 Mine Detector, MVPA # 33068, PMVPA CO

Thanks fellows - unbelievable that it is that common - how do they get bent or are they just weak? _________________ 1951 M38, 1952 M38, 1952 M100,1946 Bantam T3-C, RT-66/GRC, PP-112/GR, MT-299, DT-44 Mine Detector, MVPA # 33068, PMVPA CO

Good question.
Maybe they put the pulley guard on because rock damage to the pulley was common and after all, they are just sheet metal. If the guard failed or was left off like on many jeeps then the pulley takes the impact.
I think most happen when the engine is out and handled roughly/carelessly. _________________ Wes K

Thanks again fellows for the info - I know that my engine has been out and the guard is missing so either could have been the cause _________________ 1951 M38, 1952 M38, 1952 M100,1946 Bantam T3-C, RT-66/GRC, PP-112/GR, MT-299, DT-44 Mine Detector, MVPA # 33068, PMVPA CO
