So I have a pretty conventional M35A2 w/W that has a double output shaft PTO on the transmission. Obviously, the front PTO shaft and main control lever power the front mounted Winch. I was looking at the underside of the truck the other day when I was running some extra wires for my electric brake system and was pondering how to use the rear-facing shaft. Clearly it'll clear the existing control lever as that has a nice J'shape to it. What about everything else?
And where to put the accessory. I've thought about a rear facing winch for double work and I've thought about a Hydraulic pump and then adding other components to that (a rear facing winch, small crane, etc). Question is I'm not sure if the shaft would clear everything under there. Anyone have any ideas? If I were to mount a gear pump for the hydraulic system, where to mount it? Aft of the air tanks?
Also, how's that second control handle mounted? on the same shaft as the first or somewhere else?
