Simon only has smaller ones for sale, thanks, we are in touch.

The pulley on the Stenner is just slightly too big to run a 5 ft blade fast enough by a traction engine, requiring a racing engine if the governors are wound up! A 6 foot blade would be ideal. Another answer is to make smaller pulleys!

I have just acquired a larger Fordson Standard belt pulley for the Major which will now hopefully also be better matched to the 5 foot blade.

I'll keep searching!
