Hey folks;

Got an 01, HO, 3500, how hard is it to add PTO to the t-case, and what is needed, I presume an engagement lever, some kind of output shaft, cover plate, etc.

I want to add hydraulics to my dump bed and already have the pto pump, ram, scissor lift, etc from another truck.

Thanks

Its not hard to do. You need to contact a cheslea dealer for a kit. Most common means of engagement is a cable.

I think the PTO cover plate is a option, I know on my 2002 3500 it is a listed option. As long as your transfer case has the mounting plate, it should be easy to bolt a PTO unit to it in order to run a hyd pump. If your T-case does not have the PTO access plate, you could run a 12V hyd pump unit.

You can find the 12V electric pumps in the truck bone yards on trucks with a hyd lift gate. The PTO drives and pumps can be found on old 5-6 yd dump trucks .

on the nv5600, there are 2 pto cover plates. no need to go to the t case. just go off the tranny, there is one on each pass and drivers side.

Thanks Guys, Yah after looking at the price of the PTO kit it will be cheaper to buy a 12v motor and adapter plate and run my current pump and hydraulics.

thanks again.
