I am using a pillow block as well. I wanted to bolt it to the top of the front hydro but the pillow block was a little to tall. I'm using a heavy cast one that is self aligning. I ended up just bolting it to a piece of angle and welding the angle to the frame. I am only planning on using a single belt so I am concerned about that now. Have you sorted out why the belt shred happened? The issue with the rear hydro did you find out why it wasn't driving? (maybe I missed something in the posts)
