i have several motors with the 1" x 3" shaft size but i have a particular mower that is set up to require the bigger 1 1/8" x 4" shaft for the pulleys to fit and line up correctly for the pto and the drive pulley to fit
my question is, i have seen the shaft reducers that can convert it from 1" into 1 1/8" shaft but it is still going to be too short at 3" long, plus those adapters all use a key slot to lock them in place so how would the pulley work since the key is part of the pulley? im concerned the pulley indent for the key way may not be long enough to lock everything in place
so what are my options? since buying another motor is out of the question at this point
