The Chelsea 281GMFJP-B5XD 281 Series Power Take-Off is a hydraulic PowerShift, or hot shift, PTO built for automatic transmission applications with a standard 10-bolt PTO opening. It is designed to provide dependable auxiliary power for hydraulic systems and driveline-driven equipment on heavy-duty trucks.
This PTO features a 35/37 gear ratio, pressure lubrication, and a round standard output shaft measuring 1-1/4" with a 5/16" key. The hydraulic shift design allows PTO engagement for compatible automatic transmission applications where a hot shift PTO is required.
The Chelsea 281 Series is commonly used in demanding vocational truck applications. For water truck builds and repairs, this PTO can be used as part of the power system that drives compatible hydraulic equipment, pump drives, spray system controls, and other auxiliary equipment when the transmission, ratio, shaft output, rotation, and installation requirements match.
Always confirm transmission compatibility, PTO aperture, mounting arrangement, gear ratio, output shaft style, rotation, clearance, and hydraulic system requirements before installation.
