What to do with a pto

[inkpot]

I finished the first part of the installation, the pto gear box. I rebuilt the box with new bearings and seals. I then made a spacer for the transmission output shaft. Put it all together and the box was very stiff going into gear. After taking it on and off a few times I found some small burrs on the gear that didn't look like much but after removing them it shifts fine. Then made a shifting lever, kind of combined the cable and shift lever idea into a push pull knob with linkages. This morning I made a the knob and plan on engraving PTO pull on the black epoxy that is inlet in the brass. Just waiting on the epoxy to cure before I finish it.
Here are some pictures.

I also purchased a York ac compressor from the junk yard. that will be one of the things it drives. You can see it on the floor board behind the gear shifter.

Also thinking about buying this to go out the back, through the bumper. it is off of a ford 9n tractor. Looks like it's got what I need for a fraction of the cost of buying new parts.now I just need to find a couple of universal joints.

Go to a ?Ranch/Farm Supply store for all the PTO drive parts you need. They have tons of it cheap. John

Those trucks have character. When were they built? I like the little radiator sticking out the front. Looks like a pug dog.

That British one is even uglier than the one made by AMC.

They were built during WW II 47-53ish.

How would the feel about this in the driveway...

That red one is awesome. Doesn't get much stouter than that. I will take one in my driveway but would probably just stare at it for a week or two.

Just for giggles, WWII ended in 1945. Still like both of those rigs though. John

My bad... 1938-53. I guess they continued after the war for a bit.

There's a 59 stamped on mine, so I may have been misinformed, and be from a different application. Still a 6500 Lb PTO winch from the 50s, not like the crap they build these days which won't handle the rated capacity. Probably a pipe dream, however, on a 4600 lb 40, it'd drag it up a clif if needed.
