No reason why you can't Tony, as long as it fits the existing lathe. Or you can make it fit. Just please be careful that you don't put a piece of timber on that taxes the actual lathes capabilities once you have upgraded the motor.

That sounds like you mean the KEYWAY Tony ...
When a Pulley is mounted onto a shaft, sometimes it has a corresponding rectangular channel, into which a 'Key' is slotted when the shaft & motor are assembled together.
It effectively locks everything into place.
Its not always that kind of arrangement, but its a common one
:wink:
