You are right, buy a ford 8n tractor or ih c belt pulley for cheap on yesterdays tractor forum classified, several going for $75 to $125 bucks, same bolthole pattern as dodge on crossmember, then buy the support from Marty if he got any extra,s made? Three point lift from a unimog and all hardware could be used, check ebay for different countries adds, many complete units for $300, there are also complete driveshaft assemblys with pillow block and 1 3/8 out put for a shredder or snowblower, they also have a winch from germany, werner, that can be bolted and unbolted from the shaft in about 10 minutes. You will still need a hydra pump running off motor unless you switch to a transmission with two pto ports, unimogs guys usually sell the 3 point after getting the trucks thru customs, it helps them keep ag use exemption before they go to the rocks, or you could just sell the wdx on ebay after you fix it up and buy a 404 with everything complete, something to think about anyway, good luck!Type in unimog on german, swiss, netherlands, france until you find a seller that uses credit cards, lot of gypsie scams with send the cash!
