Need obsolete transmission Idler Pulley for 97 Craftsman Garden Tractor

Does anyone know where I can get a good used #532161592 pulley. It is no longer manufactured and I have looked everywhere on the web. Also, is there an off the shelf replacement that could work as a substitute? It would seem that out of all of the pulleys in the world that there would be something? This part is also listed as #532140492. In contact with Husqvarna the manufacturer with no luck so far.
 
My suggestion is to take the old pulley to somewhere like Bearings and Drives or Motion Industries and have them match it up.
 
Pulley appears to be a 4" OD metal v-idler pulley for 1/2" belts.

A Mtd 756-0487 (Stens 280-362, Rotary 5869) should work but you may need to change out the standoff bushing. But be careful as MTD pulley may not have a removable bushing. I seen two different MTD versions of this pulley.
