DIY Wooden Pulley for Mowing Deck

DIY heavy duty wooden Pulley for my mowing Deck!
So my Tractor wasn't able to drive my new mowing deck. I tried running the tractor at really low rpm, so the front PTO wouldn't spin that fast. But Mr. Trac does not have enough power (18hp) and dies....so i made a new Pulley out of Wood.
This Channel is somewhat a Vlog of what is happening on our Farm. I try to document all the work we are doing here.
Most Videos will be about Home Improvement, Woodworking, Metal working and Tractor related Stuff.

Thank you! As i told in the Video i was afraid the force of the pulley might wedge the plywood apart...and thats what i came up with :)

I'm wanting to build several step pulleys. After 2 years, how is your pulley holding up?

[@DIYdiacsnFarmstead]

Cant really tell, didnt use it much, as it turned out my tractor isnt strong enough...

The idea using steel to sandwich 🥪 the wood seems like a good one. I know your pain with the tractor. Years ago I bought a big round hay baler. Then had to go out and find a 966 turbo International Harvester to pull it. Tho I did fall in love with the 966. It burned half the fuel of the tractor half it's size.
