Some progress between classes and VFW stuff.

For a pulley, I used a deck pulley which had stripped its inner splines. I drilled it out, then used a round file to get it to a press fit. I used four bolts as spacers to get it square, and put three spot welds to the motor shaft. It turned out nearly concentric. Not bad.

I got the frame stripped down and motor mounted.

I decided the rear end is sealed with no vent, so stood the frame on its nose, using the bed frame angle iron for the base.

Because it's an open rear end, I needed to fix one axle.

To that end, I used one of the removed belt guides. One side bolted in under a conveniently located bolt, and welded the other end to the axle.

I'll post some pixels later.
