The pick-up gear and an idler gear may be mounted on the splined in different configurations. The output of the PTO, including a splined output and an output plate for connecting to secondary equipment such as a hydraulic pump, can be easily replaced or reconfigured to work with different configurations of secondary equipment. | 07-07-2011 |
