Transfercase pto source

[5tondeuce]

Does anyone know a source for a transfercase PTO to fit An M818, I thought of Memphis Equipment but they will be super expensive so I will use them as a last resort.
Thanks

This summer when I have some time I am going to install a 45000# drag winch from a 10 ton on the back of my M818 and I'm not sure the trans pto will be strong enough

Nice . rear winches are good to have when needed .

Which 5-tons had a shiftable t-case PTO? I know the 5-ton wreckers have a t-case PTO but they run all the time the trans is in gear and the clutch is out.

I think they came on early wreckers I had to get one from Memphis that was rebuilt .

On the 10 tons the pto runs all the time also. there is a control box of sorts under the winch that is shifted in and out of forward , neutral and reverse by air if I am not mistaken.

The M819 and the bolster truck with the mid winch had shifting pto's. The M543 and similar wreckers have a "power divider" with neutral, forward and reverse for the drag winch or send power to the crane. The shifting linkage appears to be mechanical to the power divider but one lever works an air valve which happens to be attached to the power divider that has hoses running to the air cylinder that works the clutch remotely.

Just a regular transfer case pto that runs constantly is hard to find I have found out. I was lucky enough to get one before I knew they were hard to find! The dealers I called and simply asked for a transfer case pto said they didn't have ANY.

I happened to purchase a double drum winch with a "split shaft pto" some years ago and may use that on my M818. A split shaft pto is designed to fit in the driveline just like an auxiliary transmission does. I also have a large front mount snow plow hydraulic pump that shifts in and out and need to take a look at that mechanism to see if I can adapt it.
