TWO new power take-off units for mounting to the rear layshafts of Ford and Turner gearboxes have been added to the range made by Edbro Ltd of Lever Street, Bolton BL3 6DJ.
Both are suitable for driving such auxiliary equipment on trucks as pumps, winches, compressors and blowers, and can be operated by air-shaft or cable controls. Both have robust cast iron casings and high-tensile steel shafts and gears.
Designed for the Ford four, six and eight-speed synchromesh gearboxes, the Edbro PTO 175 runs at layshaft speed and will transmit up to 60hp at 1,600rpm. Torque rating is 25.5kpm (1841bft). Weight is 7kg (15.-1-1b).
Suitable for layshafts with either splined or keyed ends, the new Edbro PTO 176 unit for the Turner T5A-300 series gearboxes is a speed-up model and will transmit up to 60hp at 1,600rpm. Torque rating is 27.2kpm (1971bft).
The power range and speed ratio of this pto make it suitable for driving Wade, Holmes or Godfrey blowers on bulk vehicles. Weight of the PTO 176 is 16.3kg (361b). Ex works availability of these units in the United Kingdom at present is six to eight weeks for the PTO 175 (price : £49.25), and 10 to 12 weeks for the PTO 176 (£161.50).
