Insurance - SnowBlower Driven Pulley

[PhanDad]

Getting ready for winter after finally getting done with leaves.  

While prepping the snowblower, I noticed the driven pulley was loose- again.  It's been a nagging issue over the years; I've even had them come completely off the shaft during use and that's definitely not a fun "repair".  At least this time I found it before the pulley came completely off.  

So I decided to add some insurance to keep the pulley firmly attached  (besides torquing the square head set screw per the IPL and adding loctite):

There was just enough shaft sticking out to add a single screw clamping shaft collar - even got a stainless one ($12.35 from Grainger).  I think this setup should solve the problem.

Lets hope, that can be annoying. Good idea.

I've used stainless steel hose clamps if there's enough shaft to fasten to.

Looks like a good solution Bill. That collar seems to be high quality.

That will be cheap insurance. And it looks nice!
