Did not have a lathe or did I?

My plan is to mount this John Deere 60 inch mowing deck under a CA Allis. To drive the mower I needed to mount a second pulley to the center pulley. I needed a way to center the aftermarket one I got at Tractor supply. The hole in it was about 1/8 inch smaller that the hub of the center pulley. I had some tool cutters so I made a tool holder out of a scrap angle iron and drilled some holes to hold it in position. Then I turned the blade from underneath with my left hand and slowly tightened the nut as it cut the edge of the hub. Now the new pulley will "center" and I will just tack weld it to the lower one. Hope the pictures work.

Innovation and solution. Perfect. I made a grinder adapter to follow a 8 inch shaft to shape a weld in a bearing scar. Worked so well the owner thought it was a new shaft. Nice job Jim
 
Good work, way think think outside the box to remedy the situation. Better pictures of the tooling set up, please. But I have to ask, what happened to the original drive pulleys??
 
better description:
1/3hp ac motor with a 4" grinding wheel bolted to a 3/4" plywood just bigger than the motor base and lout to about an inch from the motor side of the wheel. I put a quality door hinge on the Wheel edge of this plywood. I used a second piece of plywood with the same size attached to the hinge. Under that I put 2 1X1" hardwood square "runners" parallel with the shaft, and far enough apart that the bottom plywood was almost touching the shaft to be ground. I put a wood wedge at the back edge of this setup between the wo plywood pieces to tilt the motor and grinding wheel downward against the shaft to be ground. I used a small vice grip to hold the two plywood pieces together against the wedge and two long hose clamps to hold the bottom plywood against the shaft Moderately tight to keep it from being loose, but allow rotation on the axis of the good part of the shaft. I also used a wheel dresser to taper the wheep to the approximate angle of the shaft surface. A cone shape at the outer edge. I hope this made sense. Jim
