Product Description
The McKissick Old Style Block Sheave is a traditional single-sheave replacement component designed for use with manila rope in legacy block and tackle systems, barn rigging, and general utility applications where a simple, durable sheave with plain bore bearing is required. This sheave accommodates manila rope cable up to 3/4 inch in diameter and features a 3-1/2-inch outside diameter galvanized iron sheave, providing corrosion resistance and reliable rope guidance in outdoor and agricultural environments.
The plain bore bearing design reflects the traditional construction of older block and tackle systems, where the sheave rotates directly on a pin or axle without a dedicated roller or bushing bearing insert. This straightforward configuration is well suited for low-speed, intermittent-duty applications typical of barn rigging, farm utility blocks, and legacy rope-and-pulley systems where simplicity and ease of replacement are priorities. The galvanized iron sheave construction provides good corrosion resistance for outdoor use and is compatible with the natural fiber characteristics of manila rope.
The Old Style designation indicates this sheave is designed to match the dimensions and configuration of traditional McKissick block sheaves, making it a suitable replacement component for existing older-style blocks in service. It is intended for use in applications where maintaining compatibility with legacy equipment is required, including barn hay systems, farm utility rigging, and general-purpose block and tackle arrangements using natural fiber rope.
