A pulley set up is out, because the pump can not take any lateral force. I am going to keep working on this one and will keep you all posted. | Sorry, but did not look at the motor face. However, you can connect it shaft to shaft using Love Joy units. Just build a stand for the pump and align the electric motor shaft to the pump shaft, and it should work.
