Hi all. I have red **** connected to the transfer case or even something that seets on the end tip of it. What ist it do you know and how to use it?

 

Obviously it's the PTO ****! Duh! :P

 

Colorado it's not obious to me . I have np242 transfer case and what is that 207 pto is doing on top of it and how does t work?

 

WOW: many moons ago I had a landrover with an over stress protection for the drive shaft it was not standard it was added by the previous owner it had a dual purpose 1: it acted like a diff lock between front and rear diff and second if a wheel got stuck in a rut instead of breaking axles it jumped out as a safety. first time it happened I thought I killed the piece of cr.p. luckily my Dad knew the system which use to be standard on a certain model bedford truck.

I have never seen it before and never since but it looked just like that it even had PTO on the ****. question is is it the same thing?

would be interesting to know

 

im super new to jeeps, but id venture to say its a posi lock

Only joking Avtoexport, i've never seen a giant red **** on a cherokee before.

 

Previous owner didn't knew the purpose of it either

 

power take-off maybe.


like what they use on tractors and big trucks.




use: powering external devices and machinery.


i'm pretty curious what theyd use that on an XJ for. maybe a winch

 

Wow... that's a four bolt single gear Power Take Off on what seems to be a NP 207 transfer case... The transmission aperture has been closed with a plate and the shifter probably is just to disengage power to the rear drive shaft, or maybe if it's a two gear to invert shaft rotation.
Interesting is also the drive shaft with the slip yoke on the shaft, i wonder if this is an aftermarket mod or if it is from the factory.
What does it do when you shift it?

 

Working in a salvage yard, I have seen one of those before, it was on a early cherokee chief, with a tow bar on the front, although the plate on the side is for PTO I believe the real purpose behind it, is to disengage the drive shaft while towing.

and no one really addressed the OPs question on "What is a pto?"
PTO= Power Take Off, its a gear driven output for accessories like a hydraulic pump used in plows and dump beds, or winches...

 

It's probably a front drive conversion for a plow. You keep the tc in 4wd low and when you reach a dry spot on the pavement you disengage the rear shaft and drive in 2wd (front) low range.

 

good thinkin!

now the real question is...OP: what will you do with it?

fab something nice??

 

Whe i bought this car the lace was hanging freely near this pto box, when i attached it to the lace I couldn't move the **** in any direction.

 

The shifter is prolly stuck in the PTO, I would take it apart and have a look inside.
Here is a good pdf file about PTOs:

WAIT! i got it! it's a reversible PTO! when you plow you need to go back and forth many times, so to keep the tranny always in Drive and don't stress it you reverse with the ****.
