well i found a np435 with the PTO still bolted onto it in a wrecking yard today. my question is should i pick it up? i am wondering what i could do with it...maybe an OBW or something.
any thoughts?????

I'm using the PTO on my SM420 for onboard air. No room under the hood for a York, so it is going under the bed and drivien off the PTO output.

If you cant find a use for it, buy it anyways! If you like, gimme a price and I will buy it from you! I am looking for something like this

Thanks

why not use it for a PTO winch?

military vehicles use it for good reason.

ya but i would still like to use my winch when my jeep is on it's side. remember you have to run your truck to use a hydrolic winch

a PTO is not a hydraulic winch; it's a mechanical one.

your'e right about when you are on your side,but

you do'nt choose a winch to deal with the rare situations
but with the common ones.

i say that if you have the option - a PTO winch

is better.

i would steer clear of the PTO winch because of its obvious drawbacks. PTO driven on board air would be tight....

what if that is a common situation:p

Any of you that are using the PTO takeoffs for the onboard air care to elaborate on how your doing this? I have everything I would need but the pump. I just assumed the PTO drive turned to slow to use it this way. Thanks!!
