The pulleys are cast iron, and I'm not sure what type of iron at that. Welding would be tricky.

Thankfully yeah, its pretty much done. However, it'll be a good task for the new motor having to cut through the very tall grass.
Speaking of which, I still have to run this motor in to seat the brushes completely.

Not sure what you mean by that. I mean I have a 7/8" diameter shaft, I should have 7/8" of linear engagement into the pulley. I emailed my friend who works in motor testing to verify this. I'm pretty sure I'll add a capscrew at the end of the shaft with a washer or two (or hardened washer) to hold everything on and secure in addition to having the setscrews holding the pulleys on. The fit on these pulleys is much looser than what I had on the other motor.
