Glad you got a good result in the end. My old man used to hammer into us "Check the simple stuff first" when we were ready to strip a motorbike engine down to the crankpin because a loose tappet was rattling. He was right too, as usual!

You might put a dab of white paint or similar on that pulley, and the countershaft pulley, for future reference so you can see at a glance in the gloom if it is turning or not.

"Check the simple stuff first"​ too right I once had an electrician work for me 'briefly' he told me the hoist motor on a crane needed to be change, so I decided to go check it out myself which I did a found tow of the three motor fuses blown due to a damaged catenary cable nothing wrong with the motor thankfully !

Another OLD adage is, "If You don't know what is wrong with something, fix what You know needs fixed,You might find the problem along the way."
