Ok, so don't make fun of my welding.

Here are a couple of shots of one side.

   

   

Since the bearing housing is square, it doesn't play well with the tri spoke that holds the original bushing. I left one side intact, and mounted the bearing and housing on the other side. I tacked the rod to the sides of the bearing housing, and then aligned the shaft to get it as perpendicular as possible to the blower housing. I then tacked the rods to the blower housing.

I went to the other side and repeated the same operation. The bearing is free to pivot a little in the housing so again I was careful to maintain the alignment. If you don't get the alignment right, it will be hard to get the pulleys to align in the same plane and the belt will complain.

I never said it was purty.
