M35A2 Hydraulic pump

Hello all, I am still getting used to this site and all the info on here and searching so I hope I am not beating a dead horse. My question is do non winch trucks still have the pto box? If they do has anyone hooked up a hydraulic pump to it for winches and other hydraulic accesories? The truck I am getting does not have a winch and I am weighing in on what to do, find a winch or hook up a pump and get a Hyd winch and be able to run other stuff like log splitters and snow plows.


Thanks.

Look under the truck at the transmission. I would say MOST don't come with the pto, but 1 in a million might.

You would need to buy a PTO and bolt it to the transmission. The place is there to put a PTO on every transmission. YOu just need to buy the PTO and bolt it on. Easy

Ok well that makes it easy, I located a place that says they have several winches all ready to go with all the parts PTO included for 1500.

There is more to it than buying a winch kit if you also want to run hyd. There are also several options to run a hyd pump.

Here's a couple I did using different drives- http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?60514-My-latest-dump-project&highlight=dump http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?50583-Started-my-dump-conversion&highlight=dump

One option that I haven't done is running a pump off of a trans PTO accessory drive. Do a search and you'll find other options.

Those are pretty interesting, but if all I can run is just a pump or just a winch, I may look into putting a hydraulic winch on after all.

One issue with a PTO driven hydraulic pump is that you will not have live hydraulics which would be much more useful for a plow.

Touche on that one, I was already thinking about a small bolt on A frame for lifting a plow or skidding logs.

You could get a transfer case PTO and use that to run the hydraulics. That way you could still have a PTO shaft driven winch.

Ok so there are two PTO points? a place to attach one on the trans and the Tcase?

Yes.

A search through the TMs for PTO, might help familiarize yourself.

Basically you can use the transmission for different PTO speeds and put the transfer case in neutral.

Nice! I think I'll do both then so I can use a stock PTO winch and have the hydraulic pump for running splitters and such. I just printed off the TM. I am thinking of printing all of the TM's and keeping them in the truck.

There was some good pics of a t-case PTO setup in one of the links I posted.

I saw that! Mission number one is the winch then I'll find a transfer case PTO and get cracking
