ZF5 pto interchange

Will the pto from the superduty zf5 and the obs interchange?

Looking at the Chelsea site, there's a bunch of options. It makes it seem like they are all different. Diesel, gas, -42, -47, wide ratio, close ratio... it's quite confusing.

What do I need to know, to make sure these things interchange?

it took me a while to figure it all out in the search for my PTO

2 diesel ones
(1) for the 87-95 zf5 s42
(1) for the 96/97 zf5 z47

gas(as far as I found out)
there is 1
it covers the big block and small block from 87-97 s42 and s47



S-42 trans(87-95 diesel) drive gear is 41 teeth. PTO is 38 teeth
S-42/47 trans(gas 87-97) drive gear is 45 teeth. PTO is 31 teeth
S47 trans(96/97 diesel) drive gear is 43 teeth. PTO is 37 teeth

PTO teeth

Well, don't want to confuse things, nor argue.
Admittedly, Chelsea specs can be confusing.
I have two chelsea pto's out of a 95 F450, 7.3 diesel, ZF5.

BOTH are 36 tooth.

Too late... already confusing.
Their website makes it seem like there are 15 to choose from.

You basically need to count drive teeth, have data plate info, and then you might get the correct one from them. It sucks.

I was just looking at their site, too. Have a couple pto's, off 95 f450 diesel zf5, was tryin to see what else they may fit. These are model #440, 36 tooth.
Suffice it to say, after looking at their documentation, translating the numbers...
I now know they wil fit a 95 f450 diesel zf5...
hahaha
Not sure Ive the patience at the moment to figure any deeper, lol.
These are gonna be for sale, by the way.
I have them off, if you need pics or want me to look at them for a specific, let me know.

Well, I definitely need to get my pto cover off so that I can count the mating teeth so I'm a little more informed on what I really need. This has been quite a process getting things together and figured out.
