Deciding to move ahead on a new motor pulley, here is a double pulley for a Poly V 6 rib direct to spindle cone pulley. The low speed pulley is 1.9" diameter and the high speed pulley is 2.4". This gives roughly 500 rpm in low gear and 900 rpm in high gear. I thought the 2.5" round bar stock was big enough but the larger pulley could have been 3.0" to get over 1000 rpm. I could always re-configure the VFD for over 60 hertz I suppose.
Since the motor needs to be shifted over at least an inch to allow the pulleys to line up, now maybe a good time to re-build the motor mount.
