I wanted to add a hydraulic pump to a 230 I've got in an Air Force tow tractor. Thought I had hit the jackpot when I found a crank pulley from some kind of forklift 230. It had 2 narrow grooves for the fan drive and two extra ones. It was larger diameter than stock to speed up the forklift fan so it would cool at low RPM. I found out it now overspeeds the fan to the point where it throws belts if you're not careful. Hope it doesn't sling a blade. It doesn't take much extra diameter to do this.
