Would that hold up on a 13hp motor? Does anyone know from experience?
I think its only rated for like 6 or 8 hp..

yeah it doesnt say but on here is says its only 8. http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_23632_23632
I dont see what would break other than the pillow blocks not holding up or the belt?

Ah yeah thats true ay, its only 5hp bigger... I suppose all i would have 2 do is make up a bracket to mount it on the bigger motor...

Haha yeah im seriously thinking about doing that myself.
If ya make a decent backing plate theres no reason for it 2 stuff up, unless the pulleys cant handle it..

^that could be a problem, but if it isnt just get a stronger belt, that will surely break
