I did basically the same thing a coupla years ago to run a hydraulic pump on a log splitter off of a 540 PTO via a stub PTO shaft. My goal was to run the pump at 2000 rpm with the tractor at a fast idle.
Ya gotta remember the tractor engine has to be running at full governed throttle to get 540 rpm at the PTO. I wound up with a 15" drive pulley and a 3 1/2" driven pulley, and then had to double belt to prevent slppage.

And, yes, I did use an ammo can for a hydraulic reservoir. Works great.
