Anybody know where I can find one of those screws for the flywheel rope sheave?

I would suggest you remove one of the other screws and run to your local hardware store and have them match it up.

The screw you are looking for is a brass oval head  10 x 28.  My two local hardware stores do not carry this size. So I purchased a 10 x 28 tap and die and use a 10 x 24 screw and make my own.  So far that all seem to be working and holding.

It is not originally a 28 pitch, it is a 30 pitch, a thread that has not been used in years…. Trust me, My Toolmakers bible says it has been too many years but that is the original thread size…30… not 28.. I have confirmed with my thread pitch gages….twice…you can rethread it to 28, but then the next guy that tries to replace them will screw it up even worse…

You can have this one if it you think it’s OK. Only one I have.
