Please note that the pulley diameter can vary by plus or
minus 1/16"-1/8" *ALSO
NOTE: I have been informed that in the world of machinists there are
different ways of giving pulley dimensions. A single pulley has more than
one diameter depending on how it is measured.
The diameter I am giving is the overall diameter. I am
giving the distance across the circle measured at its widest points. Look
at the white nylon pulley shown above. In that photo where the pulley is
standing upright, the diameter I am giving would be considered its height.
Even so, from lot to lot, the pulley diameter we are giving can vary by
plus or minus 1/16" - 1/8" due to variations in our supplier's supply
chain. We sell pulleys only for raising flags.
These pulleys are not meant for raising loads or people! |

Installation hint:
To do a bang up job, replace a pole top adapter or a truck's set
screws with bolts.
For added security, drill and tap holes into the top of your pole to line up with
the screw holes and match the threads in the truck or adapter. Then replace the set screws with bolts
that go through the wall of your pole.

A pole top adapter is great for you guys doing the old classic light pole conversion. Aluminum light poles can be a great find. Usually the story is that you wind up with one for free or very little money. The tough part is, the top diameter is usually too large to accept a cap style truck. And the top is never threaded to accept a threaded style truck. Well, here is the solution to your
homemade flagpole problem. Light poles are a great deal compared to what a flagpole of that quality would cost. The investment in parts is well worth it.
How to convert a light pole to a flagpole: 1)Measure the
OUTSIDE diameter at the top of your light pole 2)Pick an
adapter that will fit down on top of it 3)Pick the
corresponding truck for the adapter |

Flagpole Cap
Got yourself a big old piece of pipe, tree trunk or some other thing you're trying to convert into a flagpole? If you already have a pulley or for some reason you do not want a truck with a built in pulley, this cap fits on a pole like a hat fits on your head. And it will accept a standard ball or eagle on a threaded half-inch spindle. Comes in two sizes |

Question: How many trucks on an army base?
Answer: Only one. It is on top of the flagpole. All those other things are vehicles!
Then one of my readers in uniform sent this correction:
"First of all, they are posts, camps or garrisons but never bases. I am
stationed at ---/---/--- of _______. We have two trucks on our post. Just
thought you’d like to know.
My Response:
>>lol. I love it. Thank you for the
correction. Your thought is also correct that I very much want to know and to
get it right. Please see our trucks page where this new information has been
posted and forgive this civilian's lack of military experience. To us, the
protected, you guys work on bases and have guns that shoot bullets. Plus when we
send you mail, you have extremely unusual mailing addresses.<<
