Got my first model T yesterday ( big day!) but fan belt slips off because crankshaft pulley ( which has no lip) is wobbling around on shaft. What do I do to fix it?
 
John,They were made to run without the lip, however the repro aluminum crank pully works fine and should take the wobble out of the pulley if crank is still straight. Probably the old one has been abused sometime in its life and is bent. I had one that had been run loose so long it was shimmed with an ol can when I got it. Aluminum pulley fixed me right up an on the road in a couple hours. Monte
 
Thank you, there seems to lots of play in the pulley/shaft. I hope a new one can take it all up otherwise I'll have to look for an old oil can shim too!
