David Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Looks like a Flywheel PTO. Used on mixers so you can run the mixer when driving. You can remove it but you will need to remount the trans, extend the drive shaft and change the clutch.

6368 Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 Thanks for your replies. I didn't realize i would need so many new parts . i guess it will stay (for now). Because this is not the original cab someone hacked through a cab crossmember to make clearance for the shifters. I will definitely need to brace the cab floor some other way.

theakerstwo Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I remenber in the mid 60s some mixers had a pto that looked like that but it had a cog belt and it was exsposed to were you could see the belt. I think this is a chain and running in oil. Quote glenn akers Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/9827-what-is-this/#findComment-37101 Share on other sites More sharing options...
