Wheelchair you are always so helpful and we have a WW Grainger about 65 miles away and my brother works nearby. Sadly the pulley doesn’t have any markings at all but the man who owns a machine shop (actually designed a gun for the military) called and is happy to look at it when he gets home.
It can always be worse so I’ll be patient. My brother found the cable and the company gave it to him along w/ everything else he needed. Hopefully by Wednesday I’ll be fixed up J Nicki From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, September 06, 2015 2:27 PM To: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: [QUAD-L] Re: ? about door motor main pulley Happy Holiday Nicki. I'm sure IMS did not purchase pulleys at ACE Hardware, but rather using one of two potential suppliers. McMaster Carr or WW Granger. Look for unique markings on your pulley before contacting these industrial suppliers. Glad you were able to find the cable. Did you also find the "yoke" "stop" and "connectors" Best Wishes In a message dated 9/6/2015 2:02:00 P.M.

I have a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan IMS Rampvan Conversion. I’m having problems w/ the cable staying on and my brother came out to replace the cable, this would be the 4th in less than a year (previous 3 were done by the dealer). The door worked great twice but then the cable (which wraps a certain way around the pulley on the motor shaft) criss-crossed so the door only opened part way. After further inspection of the pulley and old cables (which the coating was getting stripped off of) my brother noticed the pulley has gotten grooved from the bare cable. We think this is why the cables are wearing out. I had on old motor and we were going to swap the pulleys (the other one isn’t worn) and he couldn’t get it off the old motor. It came right off the motor that is on my van. I know my dealer, now United Access, won’t sell me a pulley but they’ll sell me a new motor for $1250.00 Any idea where I can buy it? Would it be an OEM part? Trying to contact a machine shop to fabricate one but the owner isn’t answering today………yes, Sunday of Labor Day weekend. J Nicki
