rear PTO

FYI, he made that post in August of last year and has not been on since

 

Most did not pick up on it but the pto unit you have is for a trencher unit. The brake drum should be of the type with a ring gear simular to that of a flywheel ring gear. The little mount to the right would have had a gear that meshed with the brake drum and slowly drove the driveshaft to the wheels moving the jeep along as it trenched the ditch.

Here is the simular assembly for a mower to show the missing piece but would not have the extra rear yoke.

 

Jonnyc1999,

There's a CJ5 with a PTO auger that I've seen around the county. A PTO assembly is quite versatile, but if you can't get your motor going you're out of luck. (think winch on overturned rig)

 

Thanks for the identification. It's nice to know what it was used for.
