Very early prototype to help prevent dirt related wear on pulleys and belt.
BTW. I have 2 x 2 mulching discs available $100 USD.

Getting closer. Time to put it on the core and give it a spin.
I’m thinking about a soft cover for the motor pulley. Too many wires to incorporate it into the hard cover. Thoughts?
I didn’t have any clearish plastic as was previously suggested.
You plan on covering this gear at all? I think it would be good, but leave a water weeping hole(s) and angle it down for drainage. I think a soft cover would be cool, but will it retain heat?
The soft cover I am imagining would be around the motor mount, not the motor itself. I will look at that other gear after I see if the blower will still mount on the core. It should but shit happens

Okay two things went wrong. The bottom of the cover slightly contacted the core frame. Easily corrected, I cut it off. Now I have a drain 
. There is a rounded cut out, for the pulley in the core frame, that could be enlarged but don’t want to modify it.
Second issue is I didn’t leave enough clearance. It rubbed against cover. So back to the drawing board.
