Still under construction...but 1st version - reused original pulley 1" ID on a shaft with coupling to the 7/8" OD motor shaft. too noisy and flimsey. 2nd version - New double 3" pulley mounted on the motor. Have original snow blower but have to figure out how to get original special pulley to mount on the motor.
