540 PTO on a FDT

Recommended Posts

what all is needed to run a 540 PTO on a older FDT ?. does it use a 5" pulley with a 91.1" belt off the BGB ?. looking at the manual it looks as if there is only a belt guide between the PTO up to the BGB.

Perry, I'm pretty sure you're right. I don't think there' is anything between the pulleys but belt. I sat mine on the machine, and it pinned up nice, but I haven't picked up a belt to run it, and will probably repaint before ever using it. Do you have an implemnt to run off yours? I'm collecting pieces of 3pt logsplitters. I can't justify the cost of one for the limited use I would have for it, a time or two each year, but it would be neat to run it off the tractor.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
