Thanks to all of you for your comments. My plan is not cast in concrete. I needed a starting point and came up with what I thought would work.
I have numerous options. I think the first will be to ensure that the pump I bought will tolerate lateral pressure. If so I can continue with the original plan.
I still think the belt drive ought to work for the reasons mentioned. If not, a chain drive can be incorporated.
If the pump will not tolerate lateral pressure then I may just take the engine in another mower which is the 16 hp Kohler and mount it in a small trailer that I have and include the splitter with it.
Then there were some questions on the arbor site about the pump (they were using) having to be mounted horizontally. If mine has to have that too I can fabricate a bracket and mount my vertical shaft mower engine vertically in the trailer.
Lots of options here but I had to start somewhere and keeping it simple again was one of my original goals.
But it's too wet to plow and I gotta get out of the "Cabin" and do something with my brain and hands and this seemed as good as any place to do that. Besides I can use this. The misses is a bit large to get up in the cab to operate the controls currently and I can't be up there and down loading wood simultaneously. Figured too that someone else could use this idea also if I made it simple, inexpensive, and it worked.

This would make the whole engine rebuild job much easier-and much less expensive! I soon found however, that the #4 conrod bearing had disintegrated, taking with it chunks of the crankshaft journal.
