I thought about that and have pillow block bearings on hand for just that purpose. Until I saw where a Wheel Horse tractor had the same Sunstrand belt driven. Perhaps that unit had different bearings?
The Toro c-145 I think is belt drive hydro. 1980 vintage. I'm having trouble finding a definitive diagram for the c-145, but what I have found looks like it's driven from the other end, the rear output side in our situation, where there is a better bearing I think.
I have to look at the charge pump bearing again to see what it is. Have one in the bin.
