For Sale SoCal: Early fire truck REAR PTO

[65swb45]

Vehicle Model

1. 40 Series
2. 45 Series
3. 55 Series

This came off of a fire truck powertrain that I purchased in the early’90s, and has been sitting in a dark corner of my warehouse ever since! If you ever wondered what that smaller splined section on the tailshaft of a 3speed transmission is for, THIS IS IT! I will also fit a ridiculously obscure H41 4speed that came with a 3speed tailshaft, mentioned only because there’s a certain person who trolls the classifieds that will bring it up if I don’t!

What do you do with a rear PTO? Get creative! The first one I sold 30 years ago went to a roofer who built a custom forklift for the back of his Landcruiser that he could boost shingles onto roofs with! The last one that I sold a few years ago went to a guy who was going to attach an electric motor to it and make his Landcruiser dual-fuel!

$400 plus the ride

I remember just a few years back (maybe 30) that Spector Off Road had a bunch of these rear fire truck PTO’s, I won’t mention the price.
GLWS rare cool item.
