Some guy posted a few vids of a PTO he built, and im trying to figure out what type of PTO it is.

It works as such:

Transmission===shaft======PTO=====DriveAxle

Steam Action used a similar PTO on their early units...the downside was the odometer in the truck was spinning when you are cleaning...

That would give you (and any other interested party) a more accurate idea of of the condition of the van engine. My WM with 7000 hours on the clock has a tad more wear on the engine than the 80K on the odometer would indicate.

Hi guys:

I've worked on Coit (make their own) machines that use that type PTO. Their odometer did not spin when cleaning. IMO, a clutch driven unit is more efficient, but they are limited in HP, because of slippeage over about 20 HP. So it's necessary to go to that tpye PTO only if spinning a large blower

Thx,
Dale
