Trying to remove the attachement belt pulley from the engine shaft on a 9hp Tecumseh. Been at it for two days with penetrating oil, propane torched, pullers, and hammers...and it won't budge. Before I cut it off is there anything I'm missing?

  Congrats on getting it off without breaking it.  Tough stuff, drive pulleys, auger pulleys, frozen wheels and impellers.

  Maybe you could make up a fixture to put behind the pulley so you then put big torque on the puller say with an impact gun.

  One possibility is something like two lengths of metal something like the stoutness of a lawnmower blade.  Those would
go in back of the pulley.  Then two rods to put behind those which the puller can grab.  You could then put great force on the
pulley and not worry about it breaking.
