Big pulley, little pulley. Change them to get the speed right. NBD.
Two things: 1.)That's a lot of weight to be hanging off of 3 3/8" bolts. Might want to make a brace.
2.)If your going to drive it off the rear and you don't use the rear PTO, why not just use a tiller gear box. That way you can use the same belt. Just unbolt the box and turn it 90°. The rear gearbox plate is made so you can do that. The holes are already there. (On the newer style, some of the old gearbox brackets didn't have both sets of holes.)

Thats a pretty big pulley on the side of the chipper compared to the pto pulley so it should spin slower than engine speed......maybe the same as the rear pto.  HaHa

Rear PTO's on the gear drives run 540 RPM. The ones on the super's run faster...... 1800 I think, but I'd have to look.
