Need the entire set up that bolts onto driver side of the transmission. Thank you, Scott | | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 Crusing in the Passing Lane | | Crusing in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 5,096 | You should have an SM-420 transmission, but you might want to verify. Once PTO's are taken off a trans, they loose their ID, so be careful in looking at a prospective subject. Some have straight cut gears, some have helical gears, which have to mate with same type of gears.

I should have posted that I need the angle cut gears. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,819 Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) | | Kettle Custodian (pot stirrer) Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 29,819 | What kind of accessory are you planning to operate? Some PTO's are able to reverse directions for driving a winch or some other part that needs to turn both ways, while others that run something like a hydraulic pump for a dump bed only need to turn one direction. There are usually some PTO's listed on Ebay, so don't forget to look there.

There is of course a lot of information on model fitments and specifications on line. Searching for Chelsea or other brands brings up tons of information.
