My lathe motor quit recently and to replace it I had to remove this pulley with a gear puller. Didn't have a gear puller so I made one from 14 gage, .500-13 threaded stock, a couple of nuts and a washer.....worked perfectly!

Re: Gear puller
I enjoy designing and cutting tools as much as I do the art work especially when it works. I still find it amazing to take an idea, draw it up in a cad program, and cut it out on the plasma table. What a mavalous machine, so glad I've been able to own one. Nice job thanks for sharing.

Re: Gear puller
Super cool and simple design! I built something similar a few years ago to pull the wheel (propeller for you landlubbers) off my uncle's shrimp boat. Boat was in the water and one blade got bent causing a terrible vibration. He was stuck unable to get to a travel lift, so we used some scrap stuff laying around and built a puller that would get it off in the water.
I tried to find the files to share but I must have lost the final version when my old computer died. But it was basically a circle with a slot to slide over the shaft on the backside of the wheel with two pieces similar to what you have here that were welded to a nut allowing a bolt to apply pressure to the end of the driveshaft. A hammer is almost useless underwater, but the puller worked perfectly and had the wheels swapped in less time than it took to drive to my shop.
Having the ability to whip up some simple solution like this can be a life saver!

Re: Gear puller
I have the same lathe. I'm currently making a material holder for turning a worm gear and using a hob or tap for cutting it. I'll post it here for you when I get it done.
