Some real old & some real new.Now Sterling Dump!

Had this here idea a couple of years ago to run the hydraulic pump off of a trany pto.

Pto works perfect,Then came time for the pump to hook to it.No dice with out spending a small fortune.
Also had the chassis all built,When useing the pto,you need to put the trany neutral.So it even has a parking brake.

She's a 6x6

Was going to be an Aeromax dump,now she's going to be a Sterling.
Now the new.

First screw drive I've driven via a pto. Can't wait to see how this pans out.
Thanks for lookin!

Looking good Fred!

Well..Thanks Guys!
The body work is all done,except need to notch back of cap a bit for pto drive shaft.

Managed to git the screw drive working. Man,it was a tight fit.

Here's the shake down run. I couldn't ask for better. Have a little machining to do for clearance,but I'm a happy guy!

Thanks for lookin!

That is too cool! How can you put the trans in neutral?

Looks great Freddy but I am wandering how you are going to put the trans in neutral with out it wanting to go into one gear or the other.

Yea,kinda left them trany mods out of the pics. I will tell you that it does have a neutral & all 3 gears. Best of all,the pto has a lot of gear reduction due to where I tied into trany.
Well got the back of cab notched out.

Also made the proper clearances in screwdrive. She's a lot better now.

This baby has as much lift power as the trailers!

I LOVE IT!!

Thanks for lookin!

Very cool, Fred. Kind of similar to what the Wedico 3 speeds use. They have an output shaft on the transmission also, for PTO work, and the axles can be disconnected by the differential, so the transmission doesn't have a neutral.

I'm curious if you can drive the truck forward with the PTO raising the box, or if you have to choose one function or the other? Either way, a working PTO is very neat, even if you have to be stopped to run the PTO. Nice job.

absolutely love it!

Heavy Metal · #13 03-14-2011, 09:11 PM

Now Freddy you know I'm kind of fond of the mods to the cab...but tapping into the transmission to make a PTO that drives the dump body...that is just next level stuff! Very cool. Just awesome. Nice work!

td9clyde · #14 03-14-2011, 10:05 PM

Yes you can! Click on pic.

Now ain't that slick!

Right now I can put trany in neutral,but can't shut off pto till I mount servo.
Guys,Thanks a ton for the nice complements & comments!
Thought I was done with the flippin body work. Forgot,gotta have back side of fenders.Not useing the flare things or ground effects,what ever there called.
