It all comes down to price. Can the shaft be built up with weld? That's the route I'd be going, and I'd probably consider boring the pulley over size and either sleeve it, or build the shaft up a little extra if possible and make them fit tight again. Also would want to measure things up first to see just how badly worn it is. It's possible if it's not too bad some Loc-tite bearing retaining compound would do the trick. I'd probably use it after fixing any way.

My 120 kept doing that and I tightened the nut and drilled a hole and put a cotter pin tight against the nut. That was last year. I've mowed about 30 acres this year and all is well.
