Hi Max,
I have done a PT with a pulley from a Tilt a Cut but it took me a long time to machine it down to fit inside the 24 and clear the axle. I think I have the weight problem solved even though it is a bit time consuming. I was able to cut down the 2 pulleys I got from you from the early Victa self propelled, they worked well but once again time consuming. I am thinking of getting a 3 inch alloy pulleys and bore them out to fit it over the boss and grub screw it to the boss. Maybe grind a flat on the boss to prevent it spinning. This way I could do the same for the PT's and the full cranks. I should be able to pick 3 inch ally pulleys for about $20 so that should solve that never ending problem with them
