Bit late Max, I have cut the shaft off the motor so I can get it in the press to get the pulley and cone off. I have put it aside for now as I think about if it is worth progressing with. Everything works fine but would anybody be interested in a 60 year old slasher with a new motor on it. I was thinking a DCM 6.5 hp motor but the 26 inch cut might be a bit much for it. Would be fine for light scrubby stuff but would struggle with heavy undergrowth, all depends on what somebody needs
