I've got an OC-4 and I found an aux. PTO
assembly for OC-3 for sale.
Maybe it would help to just know if the differential case is the same on both
models?
thanks
mike.

what would you use the PTO for? just wondering.
i have the PTO attachment on my OC-46 and am not sure i would use it. i don't have the driveshaft for it though (the shaft that goes from the PTO housing into the regular tranny housing). i do know the PTO housing also has the belt pulley shaft sticking out of it and the frame for the loader counterweight had a small arc cut into it so the belt pulley shaft would clear it. this makes me think the PTO really isn't supposed to be on a loader crawler and the only reason i didn't leave it off when i pulled it off to check the differential was because i didn't have the cover plate and pipe plug to cap the holes that would've been in the rear tranny cover without the PTO assembly on it (whew, that was a sentence and a half).
email me if you want and maybe we could work something out. i'm in southeastern PA.

Have no idea what I'd do with it, but
it's $25 so I figured what the heck...
Can you send me a photo when you've
got a chance?
thanks
mike.

It's a handy step for getting up onto the seat, and the lever's good for hanging a crescent wrench from.

Mike,
i'll try to get a pic tomorrow, if i get home before dark. otherwise in the next day or two. i'll look to see if there are any casting numbers on the housing as well.
i'd say for $25 i'd get it. like Bill said, the lever is a good place to hang a Crescent wrench. i can't use mine as a step because the loader counterweights are in the way.

These tractors are great for pulling single row corn pickers when the fields are wet. That's one good use for your PTO. Pull type brush hogs, manure spreaders are just a couple implements that come to mind.
