The military PTO winch

Post by Deadguy »

had a driveline support carrier bearing hanging from the bolt jutting out of the rear of the bellhousing. Does anyone know where I can get this? I already asked john at Midwest Military, and he knows one guy that has it, but he thinks the guy wants like $1,000 for it. At that price, i'd fabricate something else. Here's the bolt I'm talking about:

A lot depends on which PTO you are using. The military 105 or one of the civvy PTO's. The bearing support you are asking for will only work with the military 105 PTO. Yes they are rare as hen teeth and several hundred bucks when you find one. If you do have the military 105 PTO then check out the home made support on the 3A page.
