    M16ty I thought you had posted a picture of how you cut and mounted your air tank brackets but I can't find it. If you can please post it again.

    Getting started back on the project. Still looking for a set of air tank brackets. Hopefully we can see some results here before long. Been a cold winter in KY.

    Yea I would still like to have them. Seems the way you did it looks great and a simple fix. My zip is 42642. Let me know what I owe you.

    Been thinking about the air tanks and how to get them out of the way. I wonder if the side of the brackets without the tanks on them could be unbolted and bent down to get enough room for the pump or a drive shaft. Anybody had any luck with this cuss/discuss.

    I can't really beat a deal on those tank brackets. Zip code is 42642. Let me know a price and ill get you the money through PayPal. I am thinking about hooking the pump direct with a love joy. Seems like the best way.

    I might be interested I those tank brackets. Let me know a price. i took some pictures with the pump right behind the output of the pto and as short at the pump it it just barely squeezes between the pto and the air tank. I also took some pictures with a drive shaft held in place and it looks...

    Picked up a knuckle boom!!

    So here is where I am so far. Since my pto clutch/collar was the bolt on type instead of the set screw type I drilled and tapped a hole for a 1/4-20 set screw in the collar since i could not tap the shaft since it was hardened. I still have to hook the oil line up to the pto which brings to my...

    Picked up a knuckle boom!!

    I appreciate the info. I see where you are now and I bet it would be a chunk of change to get it up here. I guess I will put it in a lathe and cut it out. I have to wonder why they are different. And if I do cut it out will it still allow the pto clutch to engage far enough like it should. Can...

    Would you part with one of yours that was the set screw type?

    Picked up a knuckle boom!!

    My drive clutch is not recessed. And when I slide it on it rest against the lock ring. I wonder if they are different. The bolt on type would rest against the bearing when it was tight. Not allowing the bearing to move and there would be no need for the lock ring. The new style since it is only...

    Does the lock ring on the shaft get removed when a collar is installed?

    Picked up a knuckle boom!!

    Pulled the bed off over the weekend and I pulled the cover off the pto shaft. Cut a new gasket out for the pto and I had my Indian head there to coat it. I stuck the pto coupling up on the shaft and I tried to put the bolt in and all the threads were gone. Well not gone they just weren't there...

    Went to the parts house today to get a seal. They didn't have a double seal like the one that was in there so I just went with a single seal. Anybody else done that? I don't see that it will be a big problem since I won't be putting it through a rough life like it was intended for. also didn't...

    Picked up a knuckle boom!!

    I just pulled the yoke off the pto so I could replace the seal. Not sure if its bad but don't want to have to remove it later. Is there any secret to changing the seal or is it as simple as pulling the end off with the 4 bolts and knocking it out and then knocking a new one in? I am going to...

    Picked up a knuckle boom!!

    That is what I was actually shooting for. I am going to try to get the bed pulled of in the next day or 2 and see what it looks like. I haven't located a drive shaft or anything that will bolt to my pto flange yet. If I can find a flange and it will line up so that the love joy works I will just...

    Pump and love joy came in today. I'm guessing if I run a drive shaft straight from the pto then I will have to weld a yoke to my love joy. Gonna see how it lines up. If its pretty straight I will probably go that route.

    I did get the oil line with it. I don't know if this is what your talking about when you say "tee" I really don't think it is but it's the closest thing that I got with it.

    Picked up a knuckle boom!!

    I picked up a transfer case pto today. We had to go through a few of them to find one that wasn't broke or had problems. The one I went to buy was on an air shift transfer case but the rear cover was broke in 4 places. So we took one off a sprag transfer case. Then we ccould not get the collar...

    That's a **** of an idea 73m819. I think I will go that route but I don't think the factory air shift switch will work because I will need air in both directions unless the pto is spring loaded witch I could do that if it is not already.

    That calculation is for an electric motor. You double it for a gas engine
