Just my 2 cents. Sometimes those shafts are loose and that's the reason they are being repaired. I do remember some defying my little press, assumed they were welded or fused in some manner. Never saw a hardened one that I know of.
Go for it. The motor will probably exceed the capacity of the pulleys/belts and squeal at startup and load, maybe even eat belts, but we'll never know if we don't try... :)
