[AT] 540 to 810 PTO Gearbox?

[william.neff.powell at comcast.net]

Charlie, 

OK, 1 to 1.5 makes sense. Found this one at Northern Tool + Equipment: 


http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200331516_200331516

Says 75hp which should cover anything I want to attach to it. Probably use my D17. 

Stump grinders I have seen on-line say gearbox rated at 60hp, minimum hp needed is 22. I believe my D17 is 50 so I should be good. 

If I ever start/finish it... I do have most of the pieces already, hydraulics, metal, pto shaft... Just need to think about flywheel and boucoup safety covers.

Regards,

Will
