Mounting an orbit motor on a 7 inch auger.

I have a well used I believe Brandt 7 x 40 auger. Would like to mount an orbit motor where the gas engine is. I don't need it to turn too fast as it will be used to run into a mix mill. I could mount it at the top but fear the little orbit couldn't take it. Would the deep reduction of the pulleys enable a small orbit to be used or would it still be too much for it?

Yes the motor I have is about a 3 ci/rev. Will mostly be using hopper bottoms so feeding can be regulated. Now the fun comes figuring out how to mount it all and find the time to do it.
