Northern Tool supplied most of the parts of sort. Not as fast a shipper as others as things come from different places, not all from MN. But had what I needed and great service. Prices OK
Pump $184 16 gpm Control, $70 special log splitter design, open center Bracket you mention $80 they have others but I needed the length and the diameter since I couldn't engine mount the pump.
If you have a smaller engine, a lot of times the casting is drilled to accept a pump mounting bracket. Seems the larger engines don't so you have to make your own adapter, either on the engine or via a belt as I did. To fabricate an engine adapter would be a big mess as there is no place on the engine housing to attach it unless you go out to the engine mounting bolts. I didn't have room to adapt to the engine and actually I like the current setup.
Each Lovejoy coupling half $20 style 099, 5/8 for drive and 1/2 for pump. Adapter, heavy duty, at the bottom of the list of couplings don't remember but not much. Filter around $30 with bracket ------------- Quickie Parts (email sales@quickieparts.com) Great service fast delivery.
Searched long and hard for a good belt to deliver at least 8 hp. Went with the 5VX equivalent which this one was one better, the JD mower belt shown. 5/8x63 3/8, JD PN M118684, $25 from Quickie. Made the right choice. I will tighten up after it limbers up but it drove flawlessly without a lot of tension.

Willards Small Engines (.com) Super service, prices and fast delivery.
OEM spindle with bearings and zerk $17. Since it was so cheap I decided to go with new rather than use one of the old ones off the mower. Probably the right decision New longer Jackshaft $9. Bought the longest he had, Murray PN 92849 7 7/8. Cut the threads and splines off the bottom and had the machine shop cut a keyway to fit the 5/8 Lovejoy --------------
Machine shop: $50 for the 1/4" x10x11 steel plate they furnished with 6 ea 5/16 slots for belt tensioning. $10 for the keyway in the Jackshaft. I did the rest.
Used the upper sheave on the engine shaft that was used to propel the mower and one of the sheaves off the mower deck. Both about 5" and took the 5/8 belt perfectly. Had to get the 5/8 5VX rather than a 1/2" 3VX rated belt to get the HP rating I needed.
Book says this rig, 5+" sheaves and 5VX rated belt, at 3600 rpm will deliver around 11 hp and I only needed 8 to run the pump at 3600 rpm and 16 gpm. The engine just loafed and was good and solid at all throttle settings. Obviously if you want the max gpm you need to run at the normal 3600 air cooled engine rated rpms.
If you don't know a lot about hydraulics I'd highly recommend: //forums.hydraulicspneumatics.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/8641063911/m/9917040716. In particular the comments by a respondent by the name of "akkamaan". The guy knows his stuff, posted the equations, verbiage to say what to do and not and why and on and on. Really helped me make a better system than I would have with my somewhat limited knowledge of what it takes to make a successful splitter system.
A lot of time was spent to ensure that the sheaves were in as perfect alignment to each other as I could get them. Book says that sheaves out of alignment will eat up your belt in a hurry and I surely didn't want that. The center of the drive sheave was exactly 2" above the bottom of the frame and that is where I got the load sheave positioned.
Now that I know the system works and suits me I will clean up the leaks and mount the tires (Amazon, great price and really fast shipping).
It was fun and good to give the brain a wringing out again.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
