Adding a hydraulic pump to an old tractor just for kicks.
The pump in hand is "designed" as a gear drive unit.
Will there be any problem using it with a pulley based vee-belt drive?
Base question, Which subjects shafts to more side loads? Gear drive or belts?
Consider, there are no parts in this example bigger around than 6 inches, and no longer than 8 inches. No sense talking about electrical generation plants with giant herringbone gear sets transmitting thousands of HP. ;-)
