Masport pump question?

[Redmaple]

Will I be ok to run a 11.5 hp gas motor on a Universal Maport senior pump with oil drip?

Keep your RPMs as low as possible on your pump . It you can run some cold water onto the pump housing , your pump will stay cooler and produce more vacuum . Usually you want to run a reclaimer on a dairy pump that is going to run constantly , so you can run more oil throught it , with adjustable oilers !

I can't get a pulley bigger than 3'' on the 7/8 shaft. I might go through the trouble of putting on a 5hp with a 6'' pulley with a 1/2 shaft.
