It mounts right where the servo motor mounts and the servo motor is moved to the bottom of the speed reducer.  Might have to get a different belt, but it’s very easy to install.

Where did you find it and about how much do they cost?

Call Bob Kovar at Toledo Sewing - 419-380-8540 - I believe they are @$200.

Hi guys,

just bought a Juki 1541 and wanted a speed reducer, then came across this topic.  In UK and previously cut my old Singer 58K45 table to fit a two pulley arrangement underneath.  Works well but had to make up my own belts.  This time I might try this gentleman’s big pulley to avoid cutting new table.   The pulley plus bush is quite cheap compared to box reducer with the US postage and import duties.  I wonder if anyone knows the hand wheel shaft Dia on the Juki 1541 so that I can order pulley and bush in anticipation of the arrival of new Juki?  
For info, on my old Singer I run a belt from the big wheel on the Singer handle to a small pulley  on the dual shaft.  Then another belt from the same shaft, 8” pulley to the small pulley on the modern energy motor, a Jack.
