When I shut my mower down , I noticed the blade kept spinning. After further inspection, I realized the pulley had broken. After a hassel getting it off I decided I could machine a new hub and weld it to the rest of the pulley
First thing I did was chuck the stamped steel part of the pulley and bore out the center so it was round and concentric.

I really felt good repairing the pulley since a new one would have cost a small fortune and might have been hard to locate due to the 1 inch bore.20220723_141354.jpg

Nice work. I've been doing a lot of mower repair this year myself. Hate to get rid of something that still does the job. Mike
