My bad. I misread the post. You can make a dual shaft into a single shaft and a single shaft into a dual shaft with the correct parts. You really need to totally disassemble the PTO though. Check all the bearings and bushings, and replace whats needed. The shop manual gives very good step by...

I found some pictures, but nothing that will show the insides much. This first one shows the dual PTO before I rebuilt it. The second shows another single shaft PTO before I rebuilt it. The third picture shows the completed single shaft PTO. The fourth picture shows the single shaft PTO with the...

I tried to find my old rebuild post here but couldn't find it. This new site sucks about that. We used to have all our pictures and posts in a private list you could access. Now nothing. I'll try and see if I backed it up on my computer somewhere. At least some pictures if I'm lucky.

That was why I modified the steering gear. The extra stress put on it in a "no hydraulics" situation is tremendous. Of course that shouldn't happen often (hopefully !) , but if it ever did I didn't want the steering gear to break.

I posted my rebuild of several PTO units here, including the dual shaft one mentioned.

No. It's much more involved than that. Just leave it like NDT suggested.

Sadly this new generation has no idea what real punishment is. If you "offend them" they think your being mean and cruel ! I fear for the future of this country. :cry:

Good job !

YES ! Exactly. All this talk about which axle to disable for better mileage is really just academic. Basically gets you nowhere. The whole geometry of the rear axle assembly is geared (no pun intended ! ) for both axles to work in tandem . That is why you cannot disable one without causing...

Yeah, basically it is a 5/8" block, but I use a 1/2" line all the time with no ill effects. Of course the snatch blocks are all extremely expensive so better to fork out the dough and get the one you truly need. Good hunting !

Since I own three of them, I can help you. It will hold 1/2" to 5/8" very comfortably. It can use 7/16" but it will be loose. You also can use 3/4" but it will be squeezed a bit. If your only going to use it infrequently then I would not be afraid to use either 7/16" or 3/4" wire rope in it.

I cannot find the pictures I posted here, but what I had done was replace the sector shaft bushing with a roller bearing. This allows you to carry a much heavier load which is needed especially if your going to be using taller tires. You would only need this if your hydraulics cut out for...

Good job. I have had all the parts to do mine for 5 years now. Just no time. I wished I had known how close you were to starting your project. I would have shared how I was doing mine. Welding up your shafts that way makes it pretty hard to service it. Also, you will find you will need to...

OK, I'm a little uncertain how to take that last comment Guy. :unsure: But knowing you I'm pretty sure it was not malicious.

You do know that is NOT my actual photo right ? I was given that by "Another Ahab" as a "Memento/Award" for reading all the Deuce posts. Took me three years.

Well I'm sure if you had asked my wife, she would have said I was looking like a Donkey !

Actually I went in and had my beard shaved down to about an inch, and five inches cut off the back. I was looking like "Gandolph the Grey" what with my hair hanging down to my upper back and my beard hanging down to my chest ! Wife didn't want to be seen in public with me anymore ! She actually...

I'm in I'm in ! Lets hug !!! OK that came out a little creepy.

Yep, like I said earlier. We live in a litigious society . Watch your back !

I think you hit on one of the major concerns of the DOT people. Incorrectly installed parts. Who wouldn't agree that adding a dual brake system to an old single brake system isn't a good thing ? Added redundancy is great ! If installed incorrectly then it could be a potential bomb travelling...
