    transfer case pto output

    I got the sprocket installed on the pto using a quickdisconnect bushing and matching sprocket. I put it together the other way first (the teeth on the sprocket were near the flange end), but the crossmember and the sprocket made contact preventing the flange from sliding on to the pto output shaft.

    M38a1/cj5???

    M38a1's had the shackle at the rear of the front spring, but at some point CJ5's started being built with the shackles at the front end of the spring. so, if it has front shackles it probably isn't an M38a1 (anything can be changed of course)

    transfer case pto output

    Can I use tooth count on roller chain sprockets to determine reduction (like teeth in gear sets)? If so check my logic… I can’t use a drive shaft w/o moving my air tanks and I have no desire to move them, so I plan to use ANSI 60 roller chain & sprockets instead. I want to keep the chain speed...

    transfer case pto output

    I "think" I have found a way to mount a sprocket, but I know very little about roller chain. I can choose between ANSI 35, 40, 50, or 60. Any thoughts?
