This might sound ridiculous, but would it be at all in the realm of possibilities to directly mate an auxiliary hydraulic pump to the magnetic PTO on a 1450? More specifically, remove the belt pulley and replace it with a hydro-pump (1:1)?

Personally I wouldn't. Just add the pump below the PTO so you'll have a way to disconnect things if you need to.
Thanks for posting the image! That helps me a lot in visualizing how other have done aux pumps. Did that require any cutting or 'modifying' beyond adding mounting hardware?
Nope, just bolt and go deal.
Would you happen to know of any guides on installation?Nope, just bolt and go deal.
Installation for what? No way to come up with anything without knowing the what or where's or why's, just sayin.

For what purpose are you using an auxiliary hydraulic pump?
I was thinking that I could give myself sort of a universal PTO. Specifically I was looking to possibly run a log splitter. But I figured I could drive other equipment just by utilizing a hydraulic motor. I have the impeller and housing from an old leaf vac that I was thinking could be powered by a hydro motor.
I realize this is very likely not the most practical approach, just was thinking it would allow me to get more use out of the tractor and would make for an interesting project.
Installing an aux hydraulic pump on a 1450 or similar. Or are there kits made for this?
