There is more to this story than we or the OP know. The whole area was rusty looking with rust powder where you would not expect to find it.
The feeler gages used look a lot thicker than the correct size of .015” to .020”.
I guess it is conceivable that at one time an after market pulley was used with the wrong bearing or spacer and this caused damage to the spindle.
