Dana 20 PTO Shifter

I hope to get my Dana 20 PTO adapter installed soon, I plan on using it to drive an auxiliary P/S pump for my hydraulic winch. I have been looking for a picture or drawing of how the shifter mounted.

I have several ideas on how to fab something up, but I hoped to see what it was supposed to look like, before I butcher things.

It never occured to me a D20 might have a PTO. I know they were fairly common with a D18. But never seen one with a D20.

 

Both Koenig and Ramsey made PTO winches for the D20

When I lived in So Cal there was a Jeep dealership just down the street from the Northrop plant in Anaheim. They had a display of a D20 PTO winch complete with driveshafts, and a $1000 price tag,
This was in the late 80's. it was way out of my price range. But I have always wanted a D20 PTO,

I bought this one from ebay in 04. If all goes well I'll get it installed this winter.

 

That Jeep dealership is still there, under a different name now. You talking about the Northrop on Orangethorpe? They're long gone. back in like 82 I dated a girl who's father worked there R)

 

Yep, Thats the one. I also worked there, from 83 til they closed the plant. Transferred to the to the Hawthorne facility, and left them and moved back here in 89.

I have been out there since a couple of time to visit relatives, drove past the facility,it's just strip malls now.

 

Been a long time since I've seen one of those PTO's. How much does it hang down? Enought to affect your ground clearance?

 

Doesn't seem like a PTO will turn a PS pump fast enough to build much pressure. The pto shaft turns at nowhere near the speed of the engine, even in hi gear.

 

The Jeep model 20 pto's used a cable system with a bracket that mounted under the dash, at least the one's I've had did. Common mod to mount the cable through the dash. I don't have any pics though. There was a bracket bolted to the pto unit that would clamp and hold the cable housing and allow adjustment very similar to the mount that holds a manually operated choke cable on a carburetor. Obviously much beefier and larger cable though.

 

I kind of figured I'd end up using a cable system, I saw one setup that used a push/pull thru the floor lever, but it was located right between the seats and I have a console there

I actually thought this might be a problem, if it is, I plan on running the output to a pulley system to increase the speed
