RPM will vary with the tractor, but it's considerably more than 540. 1360 is a common speed. On an 8-1'2" pulley, that gets a belt runnin' at just under 40 mph. And that's about 75% of the speed of a grindin' wheel turnin' at 3400, and they fly a lot further when they low apart. You'll excuse me if I'd rather be somewhere else when the epoxied pieces come flyin' off.
If he wants to get a competent welder to make a good repair to it, that's one thing. But to put it back together with epoxy or whatever, and disguise the repair is dangerous. Ever wonder why they tell you not to paint wooden ladders?. Same idea.
If all he wants is a conversation piece that doubles as a BIG paperweight or a doorstop, the epoxy repair is fine, but the center splines or something else on it needs to be boogered so it can't ever be put on a pulley drive again without making repairs that would cause the glued pieces to show up.
