Harbor-Freight 3 in 1 Motors?

My Harbor Freight/Central Machinery Model 44142 3-in-1 lathe/drill/mill has a habit of blowing capacitors. My motor shop tells me I would be better off with a yankee motor (Baldor) [higher duty cycle] but the Chinese sheaves have a Metric bore. I've looked in catalogs but can't find comparable diameter sheaves to fit the Baldor shaft sizes.

I theory I could bore out the Chinese sheaves and install plugs with the right bore for the Baldor shafts, but I don't have internal keyway capability...
