PTO

PTO on back of transfer case, can be single stick rear, single stick front (for winch)  Dual stick front and rear, etc.   These where made by Ramsey, Koenig, spicer, and others like Rhino.

Drive shaft for rear.

Rear gear box.

90 degree drum pulley.

Then you get into Front winches, Rear winches and there shafts etc.  plus other accessories, three point hitches, drills, compressors, post hole diggers etc.   

This is a WILLYS rear PTO from a 1946 CJ2A.
As Seth said, first there is an engagement box that mounts to the transfer case to the front left with the shift lever that comes up between the seats. This is a Spicer 18H.
Next is the drive shaft that is seen in the back of the photo.
Last is the rear drive gearbox that the components that you would drive are mounted to.
Quentin mentioned the reinforcing channel piece that goes inside the rear cross member. I believe that was a factory installed reinforcement that was sometimes overlooked when the PTOs were dealer installed. A desirable and smart addition was the PTO shaft guard or shield that Q also mentioned. This helped avoid coming in contact with the shaft that protrudes from the rear of the gear box when running or not.





The PTO setup in the 1st photo happens to need a new home so if someone is looking feel free to PM me & I can give you the details and additional photos.

                                                                                                                Lee MN thanks for the post. That's the first time I've seen a pic of all the different types of PTO's. Did they make winch's to mount to the rear PTO? Thanks Joe wadoyado

Any pictures of these rear mounted winches? Better yet, are there any for sale? Gary

I've got a rear mounted Ramsey that has its own PTO shaft. It's made from 1/2" square stock coming off the output of a Spicer PTO engagement . Both ends have 1/2" swivel connectors like those used on a 1/2" socket for u-joints, although one ihas female drive on bothe ends. Looks Original. The winch has a 4000lb rating. Kevin

Mine has a Spicer 18 drive from that is a 1/2" swivel then a long 1/2" square pice of stock that goes into another 1/2" swivel / u joint. It all looks pretty light duty, but it's what was on the 2A when I bought the winch. Joe send me your email and ill take send some P ics.   Kevin

Are the rear mounted drive shafts interchangeable between manufacturers like Dana/Spicer and Ramsey? I'm specifically referring to how they attach to the output on controller.

(Not to high-jack this thread) Can someone get the measurement from the edge of the transfer case to the end of the mating flange on the Spicer 18H?
