Title: PTO
Post by: tipover on December 13, 2010, 11:51:07 PM

I think most samurai owners have noticed that the T-case has a casting on the back opposite the input shaft.  This was for a PTO.  Suzuki used to offer a different input shaft for pto operation as an option.  you would have to remove the "knockout" and use a sealed bearing. 

So my question to you sammy/SJ owners is:

If you had an that PTO option, what would you use it for?

I'd use it to drive a propeller for amhibious operation...

Really.

Seriously!

That's what Dutton motors does...

Yes,I got the information and drawings from them so i can make the input shaft. They were cool to give me that info. But i cant find a  real practical reason to have a pto. If there was one, i would make it.

I guess if a person wanted to mow grass or pull a manuer spreader in a comfortable fashion it might make sense...  :laugh:

The old Scout 80 and 800 series had an option for a PTO.  You could even order it with a tractor style hitch for pulling rakers and such.

I think we would be a bit underpowered for running a mower deck.

Hydraulic pump for a winch perhaps?
