Here are a few ideas we have had to design when adapting to the front on the C or QSL9.. You have the same base issues with each (incorporating a front engine mount and working around it, and then adding the belt driven devise so all “fits and clears” all of the other things.. The QSC or C requires a tad more design effort because of the serpentine drive arrangement and the added components on the engine. .. All the way from a small belt driven deck seawater pump to about 75-100 Hp hydraulics and all are 100% long term reliable.
Adding a Front PTO to any B or QSB Cummins DID NOT make this an easy task and we consider doing it “a very very challanging job”, if you want to do it right. If you need a 4-groove pulley, then the job really becomes design intensive and gets costly both in parts and in labor.

If you have room in front, then “close coupling” or direct driving the hydraulic pump can be a much better option sometimes.
