Power take off?

I have a 78 f-250 4x4 straight stick and i want to put a power take off on it to run a hydraulic pump has anyone done this and if so how because Catco here in minnesota will do it for about $1,000 but half of that is labor so i could save alot of money doing it myself

Thanks marcus

They probably have this info in the drivetrain forum as they are related.

Marcus, if you're handy enough you can put your own together. Check out ebay auction #7961453830. That's an air shift but if you look around you can also find cable shift Chelsea PTO's. They can then be hooked to a hydro assembly if you want. I believe the NP435 has a port for a PTO accessory.

Don't know what you plan to use the hydro for but if it's occasional short use and not continuous you may also consider a 12volt hydro pump which can be picked up for under $200 and will be much easier to set up.

It does on the divorced case. The T-18 also has a PTO port on it.

Yep, married NP205 cases do too. What you need to watch for, however, is clearance between the frame and case. A lot of times there's not enough space to fit a PTO in there. Another problem is that typically the exhaust is right in the way. You can have this altered but the $$$ start adding up.
