Anybody ever hook a York up to the PTO?
Is it even feasible?

Maybe a stupid question.... What is a york ?
How does it work ? I have PTO winch , works only when TC is in neutral ( I think )

Normally you drive a York compressor with a belt. The York compressors are self oiling, which means they don't require freon as a lubricant like a regular A/C compressor. You can use the air to fill tires, or run air lockers or air tools.
I was just wondering if anybody had used the PTO out to drive one. I have no experience with PTO's other than the one that came out of the back of my Uncles Oliver tractor. He had all kinds of stuff he hooked up to that.

Got a feeling it wouldn't spin fast enough ... Just a guess
Reduction is set by which gear your trans is in .
The old cast iron Chrysler V-twin A/C compressors are much better than the Yorks. But, I think the speed would be too slow to put out much air with a PTO unless you had some type of system to increase the compressor rpm.
Is this a York?
Reading about York compressors and how they're driven normally by belts, and knowing little about anything, I jack this thread and ask if this is a York-style compressor, and if not, what type is it?
In any case, I am always filling my air tank (used for pneumatic brakes) and burning extra fuel since it's attached to my power steering pump.

i dont know if this includes toyota fj 40 but all the trucks i have driven have a big red sticker that says do not drive vehicle with pto engaged. i would check this first before you do this plus you will need a belt drive to increase rpms. maybey another air tank would help good luck
I don't believe it is. But it is a very cool setup. I'd like to see more pics of the belt arrangement. Pretty slick with the power steering pump.
From what I have learned the PTO puts out around 650 to 800 rpms. Good for PTO accessories but bad for things that run on engine RPMS.
I use my belt driven York OBA system at idle, 750 RPM and it fills my tires plenty fast. If the pto puts out close to that I don't see why it could not work. I think the hardest part would be creating the system to mate the PTO output to the York.
air compressors, paint sprayers,and welders were popular options on old willys .they were belt driven off the pto on the front or rear of the vehicle some even in the middle .depending on the load they also used a belt driven governor and a throttle cable .i have this set up on my 46 willys it will run any powered 3 point hitch acc. the compressor will probably work fine on a pto once you figure out how rig it but i dont think you can drive it at highway speeds with pto engaged good luck

Why would you need the PTO engaged at highway speeds? Or at all while driving? Even a small tank will run air lockers for a long time. I have the big ARB pump with a tank the size of a 1# propane bottle and it will run my lockers through four or five cycles. One of those hot dog tanks would probably run me most of a day even on a tough trail. When airing up you would be stopped anyway.
I had the same thought of running a York off a pto. After looking into it a bunch, I am with Shelfboy that it may not work out well to run the compressor and drive on the road at the same time.
That said, it would be mega cool if it could be pulled off. Seems like it wouldn't be too hard to get the compressor speed right as you could hit any target rpm within reason off the pto with the right pulley or sprocket combo. Tractor Supply, McMaster Carr, and Surplus Center all offer different sprockets, pulleys, etc.

It's a 1984 truck.
I swear I think I saw this truck here on mud, because I have many pics of it. Here is another view of the engine:
Actually you can run the PTO down the highway, but.... It would probably wear out the inards really fast. Also the PTO Shaft is not that great, and would probably wobble itself to death.
The other catch, if you had a winch, is hope to hell the dog clutch didn't engage unexspectantly on a bump or something. Could mean instant frame/winch carnage.
The benefit of a York compressor, is that they have a magnetic clutch on them most times, due to being an AC pump, so they work very well as an aircompressor when belt drivien. Plus the oiling issues.
If I were to run a PTO aircompressor, I would get the alternative PTO drive, that bolts to the back of the transfer case, Spector used to have these, may still. They may be settup better for continous use. For a pump, I would rig up a direct drive from this output, maybe with a rubber coupler to reduce vibrations, and use an Air Compressor pump for a real air compressor. Buy a cheap one, or a really good one, either way, it would be a real compressor. This settup would also work well for a hydrualic pump settup the same way.
You can run both PTO's this way, you would have a twin stick PTO, the standard shaft for the PTO lever was settup for both sticks. Then you could still run the side PTO for winch, and the rear PTO for air independently.
