Canadian Dodge APT with Dual PTO

[Jürgen Dose]

Hello everybody,

many thanks for your hints and ideas. The problem is solved with a metric seal with the size 25 /40 / 7 It fits perfect – on the shaft as well as in the bore.

#rob love: Thanks for the SKF idea: But with 25,4 mm it would have been too much space between the rubber and the shaft.

# Bob and Lynn: I have overhauled the whole gear box including the PTO. And while mounting the PTO I took spotting paste and everything fits perfect.

The APT has definitely the same gear box as the US-Dodge, I have checked that with the CC-number. Original the PTO is only for the MU2 Braden winch. At the Canadian Dodge is nothing in the rear which could be driven by a PTO. As written in my first post there was 1 Ton Flat Fender Power Wagon 4x4 Civilian & Export which has had a PTO with the shaft working in both directions. But the seals at the front and rear are similar. And until today I don’t know for what the rear option was used.

Anyway, an interesting discussion – thanks for your infos and ideas.

I have seen these double PTO's on some of the pipe line full cab dodges from the CANOL Pipe line, powerwagons with flat decks and a PTO winch mounted directly rear of the cab, I assumed theses trucks where used for lifting pipe, as they had gin poles mounted at the rear of the decks, I have also seen a second dodge full cab truck with full metal cargo box similar to the WC box with winch mounted and recessed in the floor, with a metal cover or access door over top, this truck was for set up for installing telephone poles.
