CLINIC # 12: Improving the MTH 785 Coal-Loader Performance

(This clinic comes to you courtesy of Carl Tuveson.)


The primary criticism of the MTH 785 unit is its slow operation.


By replacing the internal pulley with a larger one, the speed of operation can be greatly improved, almost tripling the speed!


The brass pulley, specially made for this installation, is available from Port Lines for $8.50. (Add $2.00 shipping, if that's all you need.) The original MTH pulley is shown below, on the left. Our replacement is shown on the right.

Click on the link below to see Carl's installation instructions and photos.
