PTO Gasket/Shim NAPA part numbers anyone?

[DanMartin]

OK, after a frustrating 45 minutes at NAPA today, I have no joy on getting anything in the form of shims or gaskets for my PTO install on the deuce. Basically they couldn't cross-reference the Spicer 3053 transmission to get the proper gaskets. Basically "what vehicle is it out of?"...and it went downhill from there. I even tried looking up old REO 530 trucks hoping that a civilian application would help...nope.

I've read through all of the threads I could find here and several people got the gaskets at NAPA, but no reference to what the NAPA part numbers are. If someone can give me a NAPA part number that would make my life a lot easier. I'd rather get the gaskets locally right now if I can find them and not have to wait to get them from back east.

So...anyone know the NAPA PN for gaskets and/or shims for the PTO? Different thickness part numbers would be a bonus.

Thanks in advance...

NAPA looked at me like I had an extra arm hanging out of my butt when I explained what I wanted. Sadly, I know they have them but finding a competent counterman may prove more difficult than finding the Ark.

 

[DanMartin]

Yeah...the first 5 minutes was explaining the difference between PTO and Differential.

"No..it bolts to the transmission..."

I think that gasket is a pretty standard item.
Can you take the PTO in there and match something?
I did that and it worked, when putting the PTO on my crane truck.......

best bet is to go to a commercial truck drive line component or repair shop

they can help you with ease

we have companies like: Trans axle, CCC rebuilders, Florig hydraulics

all offer PTO's for sale for dump trucks, walking floor trailers etc

I made a tracing of the PTO mounting surface & went to NAPA. They had gaskets in stock. No shims available though.

When I put the pto on my M-37 I used pto gasket(s) left over from my pto install on my 1995 F-800. As mentioned go to any driveline shop, the pto bolt pattern is standard with the exception of bolt hole diameter.
P.S.Adirondak Dodge carries PTO gasket kits ( under M-37 winch parts )

I got my gaskets from Sam Winers on Akron Ohio, low price so I got some extras....

 

[DanMartin]

Well, I found a set of military surplus ones on ebay, so I bought all 6 kits that he had.

So, I think I'm set...

Next time you need PTO gaskets, give this number to you local NAPA guys and see if they can find the gaskets you need.

 

[DanMartin]

Thanks DH. That is valuable for all of us as future reference.

Great info doghead, do you know what it would take to add Mfg part numbers to the cross reference section? I'm slowly getting more computer literate, but have no idea what that would take.

I remember having gasket material and a ballpeen hammer and making gaskets.........
Am I that old? Or,
has this art been lost?
Or, was I just haning around ultra doityourselfers?.......

 

[DanMartin]

I've done that a few times, but would rather spend my time doing something more interesting. If a machine can stamp it out in a fraction of a second, I'm buying it ready-made.

These were in stock at my local NAPA.

RE: PTO Gaskets

I submitted the gasket Numbers to the parts crossrefence for future reference. Remember, there are different thicknesses of the gaskets available and that is how you set the gear lash when installing a pto. These gasket part numbers will at least get you started.

RE: PTO Gaskets

I just meant if a person couldn't find something like that, that, it can be made........
sometimes I can make something faster that running all over looking for it, or surfing for hours to find it.......

just a random thought.

RE: PTO Gaskets

These come in two thicknesses (.010 and .025 if memory serves) to be mixed and matched until you stack up enough gaskets to get the gears backlashed correctly... It could be done but that's an awful lot of hammering on an awful thin and brittle gasket material... Any truck parts place has them and they're dirt cheap.

RE: PTO Gaskets

These gaskets were readily available, but I would have made some up using the old Ball Pein hammer method if these weren't convenient. Just takes a few minutes if you keep some gasket material around. And every shop should.

TM 9-2520-246-34P has a part number listed and says two are needed (I assume one under the PTO and one under the PTO cover) but no reference to thickness or if multiple need to be stacked for accurate gear depth. Does this really need to be set or is one gasket what most folks use? Inquiring minds want to know.
