    Try liquid nitrogen (freezer may work) for the shaft and put the pillow blocks in the sun or oven if they are all steel with the step pulley.
    Consider marking the shaft ahead of time because once they are set, its going to be a big job to move them!

    Do you have a Tractor Supply, Atwoods, or Orchelen's nearby? They are farm & ranch stores. You could also check with a tractor place like John Deere or the such...just thoughts.

    Tractor supply don't carry it. Grainger does, but it has to be ordered and I want to try it. Got burned the last shaft I ordered.

    Can you measure the shaft of the motor?

    Mic the id of the pillow block and step pulley. Then mic the od of the rod. If it's close, use emery paper on the rod until it fits.
