Posted on January 2, 2021 Four early HHF center drop pulleys. All slightly different. From left to right…..
1 – 7/16″ wide sheave with 5/8″ holes.
1 – 7/16″ wide sheave with 7/8″ holes
1 – 3/16″ wide sheave with rare 1″ holes
1 – 3/16″ wide sheave with 7/8″ holes.
The 1 -3/16 wide units appear to go with the narrow sheave chassis… 1st gen Reversible, 1st gen side pulley, 1st gen One Way, 1st gen New Star and 2nd gen Illinois Carrier, 2nd gen side pulley “unmarked” Illinois Carrier.
The wider units have the same sheave width as the rest… 1st gen Swivel, 2nd gen static Tiger, 2nd gen swivel single and double sheave. Since there is advertising on the 2nd gen chassis showing the early and ornate cdp style both I assume that this is when the switch was being made as all the ornate HHF drops are wide.

Posted on February 14, 2018 We are looking for a Myers trolley that can be used for both hay bales and loose hay. Any suggestions? We found two possibilities, but fear they are both just for slings. They are the 8-wheel Cannon Cross-Draft trolley (MY62) and the Sure-Lock Right Angle Cross-Draft trolley (MY56). Will either of these work with forks, and what equipment would we need to install forks? Any rigging hints? What style pulleys would we need for each set up? Thank you.

THEY CAN BE USED WITH A FORK, BUT YOU NEED A BRIDGE BETWEEN THE MATCHING SLING PULLEYS. THIS BRIDGE HAS A SINGLE HOOK OR CLEVIS TO HANG A HAY FORK ON, BUT THIS IS A VERY COMPLICATED APROCH. WOULD SUGEST A MY29, 32, OR 35 WITH A SIMPLE CENTER DROP PULLEY EASIER TO WORK WITH. THE FORK IS SIMPLY HOCKED TO THE CLEVIS IN THE CENTER DROP PULLEY AND YOU ARE READY TO GO. YOU NEED MYERS TRACK AND THE APPROPRIATE TRACK STOP (KNOCKER) TO STOP THE TROLLEY, HOLD IT ON THE END OF THE TRACK, AND RELEASE THE CENTER DROP PULLEY.

Posted on September 8, 2015 I got this pulley and see that there is a swivel as shown in Barry’s book. The head is the same as the interlocking set. However it can be attached to the fork pulley with or without the swivel. I assume that the swivel can only be used when triple reaving is applied since the pulley wouldn’t go into the trolley straight. as shown in this pic.

Hello Kenny,

Well that is another nice piece you have found.

The answer is this….

Perfect set-up for the ADVANCE and “OUR OWN” series.
One can essentially eliminate the double hay sling set this way, creating a fork carrier that could utilize a monster multi tine fork through triple reaving.
My guess is that the owner had a Jackson fork and needed the extra lift.

The pathway would be simply:

1. Rope terminates in the register ball.
2. Rope travels up through the receiving bell and over the smaller sheave.
3. Comes down from the smaller sheave and through the fork pulley.
4. Back up into the carriage and over the larger sheave and out the side.

Specifically to your observation, Kenny, it is the straight up pull of the terminated end in the register ball that keeps everything in alignment as the ball enters the receiving bell.

Nice find!
