As a last resort, there are pullers that you insert into the ball bearing cavity, between the inner and outer races.
This would of course require removal of some of the cage at the appropriate (2 or 3) places which in itself is a bit of a mission.
The puller legs are turned through 90 degrees after insertion, which allows their heads to engage both the inner and outer races in the grooves where the balls run. At this point (I would place the whole assembly into a heated oil bath first) the bearing can then be 'pulled' out via jacking screws working against the outer (or inner) casing.
Suggest you talk to a bearing supplier to learn more, or better still, employ the services of an engineering co. who has this equipment. Doubt many will though.
Good luck!

That would be a last resort since I don't own such a puller and the cost would be out of sight for a one time job.

The bearing is out

This was my last resort

Swap out the entire pulley. Lots less work and probably not much more expensive than a new bearing.


And where would you suggest I get the parts for a press that discontinued in the early to mid fifties?
I bought a new spindle for my Zero Turn lawn mower and it cost four time what the bearings would have cost .

Is that a snap ring I see around the bearing? If it's like a hub bearing on a car, remove the snap ring and use a press from the back side to press the bearing out. And it looks like the inner race stayed on the hub.

Since you have experience with pullers, you would simply use a hacksaw with an appropriate blade and cut through the darn thing. If that doesn’t release it, then make another cut and remove a segment of the bearing.


lol

Check with your bank. The tool is used to pull locks on safety deposit boxes when keys are lost. Perhaps they will let you try it out.

Can you cut the retainer off the ball bearings to remove them one by one the carefully use a dremel tool with a grinding tip to cut through the races on 2 sides of both races the a tap with a punch should let them fall free

Manglesphoto,
Edit:
I think what I had just said was too negative. Sorry.

I’m glad you were able to find the simple solution.

I'M not quite sure what you are referring to, I looked back and found nothing negative in your post, No apology needed.
I had the solution in mind when I made the original post, but due to my old shaky hand it was a last resort, I was lucky finding the old adapter since it fit perfectly.The good thing everything so far has not been a very tight fit which will make reassembly easy. Thank you for your concern and apology

The apology was for what I wrote in that post and deleted. It was borderline trolling on the comments others had made and I thought it was inappropriate. Apparently some others had already read it.
