Buying flat belt pulley

[leeroy]

Thinking of installing one. Not easy to find here. Some advertised as not turning freely.
Rebuilding seems straightforward. So if need be would buying one known to need rebuilding a decent option?
Are the belt attachments the same from the New Major to the Power and Super Majors?
We'd like to run a cordwood saw, but also wonder if this would also run an old handset circular sawmill.
It is not a Bel-saw, which were designed to run off a tractor, but a bit heavier sawmill.
Originally powered by water, likely steam and later in its life gasoline engines. I believe the last power unit was around 35 hp.
Ideally a dedicated power unit would be best, but wondering if we could use the FMD for a time milling smaller logs.

If they don't turn smoothly they're easy to sort. Make sure there's a circlip holding the gear on and not a nut, as those are E27N ones that won't fit. The circlip fixing was used unchanged from 1951 to 1964, so any of those would do; although if you get a chance to see a casting code it would look better if you get one that's close to your Major.
