If you have a POWER TAKE OFF...you'd know it.
A Transfer Case (T/C) is not called a P.T.O., btw...except by a few ppl here on FTE...
...which is the only place in 63 + years that I've ever seen ppl calling a T/C a P.T.O.
What some ppl call certain parts is mind boggling...
Just today, someone refered to motor mounts as frame pads!
I kid you not!

That was supposed to be a joke Bill - Brady asked if I had a power take off. My response of "No, but I think MY TRUCK does" is where the humor is supposed to come in .
And yes, I understand that a pto is where power can be taken independent of the front and rear outputs of a transfer case when the case is put in neutral.

I've never seen a PTO on a SD. I'd like to check one out some time. If you crawl under your truck you can see the port in the casting where it would go. But that right there has exhausted what I know about PTO's.

Technically, the output of any crankshaft - lawnmower, electric motor, whatever - is a PTO. It's where the Power is Taken Off of the motor .(or engine - but that's another subject)) But in the truck world, I believe it's limited to an extra output from the transfer case - usually under a plate.
I don't know about off of a transmission, but that could be.

The PTO bolts to the side of the transmission, not to the transfer case.
A PTO transfers power, but it's not called a T/C.

A doge is an 17th century politician from Venice...Italy that is.AFAIK, there were no PTO's available back then, no Transfer Cases either.
Sorry kiddo, I couldn't resist!
