In order to replicate my Rear PTO Hanger Bearing Bracket, I will be removing the PTO shafts from my truck sometime next week. I plan to have this bracket reproduced at a local foundry soon after the first of the year. It will be cast of brass with a high manganese content. It will be heavier, stronger, and less brittle than the original cast iron bracket. If anyone is interested, I will cast extras per order. Pricing should be known by the first of the year. These will probably cost somewhere around $100.00 to $150.00. Anyone interested please send email to me directly. Payment will be required before production.
With this bracket, and readily available parts from a W-series or B-series large 2WD truck with Detroit style 2-piece rear drive shafts, one can make the two drive shafts required to transmit rotation from the Power-Wagons transmission mounted PTO box to the Rear PTO Pillow Block and Belt Pulley Drive.
