using an Air conditioning magnetic clutch

[leitmotif]

Grainger is a really handy book.  They have sections on how stuff works that cover the basics.  The other good thing it is for is to get an idea of what cost is for equipment.

 You may be able to drive backward for all I know - if you only have $5 into it what the heck try it out.  I believe the driving sheave will require a bearing because it always turns.  the driven end may get its "bearing" from whatever VW meant it to drive.

You are in So Park right??  I would have to see clutch before I mouth off further.
