Ramsey Model 105 PTO

Can a regular pto drive shaft with a universal joint in the center run from the bell housing to the pto? Or do I need the special short drive shaft and bell housing with the hanger bearing on the side like the M38A1 use? This is on a early CJ5.

 

I have found a pro off a M38A1. I should have posted that first. These are pictures of the drive shaft set up.

 

OK, I could be wrong on all this, but that sure looks like the rare PTO from the M series jeeps (both M38 and the A1). You could easily sell that and fund all sorts of winch fantasies.

The civvy Koenig and Ramsey PTOs are very easy to find and purchase in comparison to that PTO.

 

Yeah that's it but I didn't pay no were near $1000 for it. But it does need to rebuilt with new bearings and seals. I just need to find a low profile ujoint that goes beside the PTO.

 

Really they are going for that much? Is that not rebuilt or rebuilt with new bearings and seal?

 

Try pricing out the capstan type.

 

The ramsey 105a is easily worth $1000 not rebuilt. The last one i sold years ago i got $1000 for it.

 

Well I have the replaced the ball bearings and seals. I also have the bell housing with the stud hanging out of the side for the hanger bearing.

 

I still have the pto I found this picture and it appears that a normal style universal joint is being used in place of the original one. I have not had any luck finding anything that small.

My dad has a crank driven capstan on his 46 2a. been on there since he bought it in the 70's.

 

??? U-joints are a standard commodity.


Tractor Supply?
Tom Wood 4x4?
Surplus Center?
Graingers?
Agricultural catalogs/websites?

And certainly ebay, I would think.
