I found that I have a Muncie brand PTO on my 1 ton.
Now...after calling Muncie my model was actually made by Chelsea.
It is the PT - A2HW. The PT's are Chelseas and the PH (I think) was the Muncie built Muncie.
Backlash on the PTO is very important. (This is the tightness of the teeth on the PTO gear and the tranny gear.) Backlash is set by the gaskets...yep.
So I found a place here...(Inland Truck Parts)...that has the gaskets on hand. Muncie was very helpful on the phone, Inland Truck not so much. But I have four new gaskets now. (2x 0.001 & 2x 0.002) The goal is to use them in a combination that will set my backlash.
This old PTO does not have a cover that can be taken off to see the gears. Backlash is 'guesstimated' by attaching the PTO and turning the output shaft by hand...(I'm assuming I should feel some play, but not a lot). So far the answers on backlash have been a bit less than scientific.
There you go...all I know...about the PTO
(Cool rhyme....
)
