I worked on installing the transfer case pto today but was not able to get it in place. There doesn't seem to be enough room between the T-case and the frame cross member to work it into place. I may need to cut the cross member out more to get it to fit or remove the T-case and install it -...

Would anyone be interested in a M172 lowboy? It has been modified with an extended dovetail and ramps.

Just received a kit from Boyce yesterday. Should have all the components. It was taken off a 815. I'll try to update the thread as work progresses.

Thanks!.........the photos are a great help. The TM's don't show exactly where the components attach in the cab.

I am adding a pto to the tranfer case on my M818. It is the unit from the 815 or 819 that has a control to engage or disengage it. Anybody with a 815 or 819 willing to share some photos of how the engaging control lever is mounted in the cab? Greatly appreciated..........

Thanks..........I'll keep looking
