Hi all,
You must now play the waiting game for parts, will be worth it in the end I'm sure. Just looking at your rounded nut and it doesn't look like a nut at all, either way the only way I can think of getting it off is by drilling a hole straight through as low to the bottom as possible that will take a pice of rod.

A good thick piece that won't bend but you will have to stop the crank from turning somehow, just an idea.

The pulley could be a wack on and wack off type as well, like the older Victa Special starter pulleys. Put a wooden block against the pull cord groove and give it a hit with a solid hammer to loosen. I would try that first.
