Why not just beat down on the side that is too
high to begin with?

may have one from a Gravely.

For a $300 replacement cost, + NLA [you can't get one] it makes just
finding a pulley with the same diameter and belt pitch [distance of the "V"
] it makes sense to have a hub center machined to match the old one that
fits the shaft and weld the pulley to the new hub..
"Can't get one, make one"
I will have to pull it off and see.

How is the pulley connected to the shaft? If it's removable, you can
probably find a similar pulley to replace it with.

It appears to be an assembly with one on top and one on bottom that costs $300
but appears it might be NLA

Is the pulley something special? Might be better to just find a
replacement pulley not from JD.

While you are doing that, use the broken pot metal piece as a template and
make a new one out of steel...

If you can remove the pulley from the assembly, heat is your friend to
massage the bend back to straight... a few minutes with a rosebud torch tip
to heat the flange area, and then a steady pressure [some sort of lever
device you just invented to fit the problem] instead of hammer blows which

When it dropped and hit the ground I think it bent it from the center shaft so
it’s no longer in a flat plane but rather tilted. I will have to get it off the
mower and see what I can do.

It sounds like you'll need to set up a dial indicator to find the center
of the dent and measure the runout, and gradually bend it out with a
wedge of some sort, assuming you can do that without bending the other
flange out
Actually, the pulley is a top pulley that connects the top belt to the
engine, and a bottom pulley that runs the blades. It is the top pulley
that is bent and apparently it is an assembly that appears to cost close
to $300. In other words, I really need to try to get this one bent back
into
Earlier this summer I removed the deck on my 54" riding mower to replace
the belt. I was going to turn mower deck upside down to remove blades
to sharpen them while I had it off and ended up dropping it. Deck hit
the floor and broke an arm that holds the pulley on which is spring
loaded to
