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.
Dedicated air compressors, OffRoadRecovery.Com EXTREMEFLOW ENGINE DRIVEN AIR COMPRESSOR Pricey though
Spector still has them. About $150 before shipping.
What advantage does this have over the 'normal' PTO setup? One thing I see is it would not hang down as low...
