Default Re: ID this pulley?

Well, Model A engines were available all the way up to WWII - and possibly beyond depending on the backwater Ford Dealership.

Baldwin Gleaners were outfitted with Model A engines and are now the source of many "diamond" engines - the parts found on these CAN be "different."

A gaggle of engines were sold to Gordon-Smith for use in conversion to air compressors.

And there were other places that Model A engines ended up. The "Unauthorized accessories" book has pages on these. (i.e. cement mixers, hoists, welders, generators)

It is sounding like this is a step above "foreign junque." Maybe even worth keeping going, provided you have assurance of no relative motion between the parts.

Loctite would obviously improve the tendency of parts to stay together. I would hesitate to actually "pin" the parts as part sections seem like they would be thin and the pin small.

I might center punch the parts once everything is bolted in place - to positively identify any relative motion that you don't want.

Good luck with this!
