Very nice John. Curious if you have any pics of how you adapted the PTO shifter to work with the overdrive, since the PTO moves to the rear, effectively under the seat.
Thanks,
Pete

Fabricated a bracket as seen. Pretty simple as I have little to no fab skills. Not a lot of clearance for the pto shift under the floor. I had to cut the top off of the shift tab that sticks up from the pto[emoji15]

Pete, if you are going to run the OD/Adapter/PTO, I STRONGLY suggest that you drill and tap a NPT fill plug about 1/2 up on the side of the PTO adapter and keep it filled with oil to that line.
Pete,
Yes I have the Ramsey. All of those pipe plugs are pretty neat! It is still a good idea to drill/tap another pipe plug hole in the PTO adapter and fill from the PTO until oil runs out there. It is also a good idea to fashion an addition mount for the PTO to body/frame. There is a lot of leverage on the 4) 3/8" bolts that hold the whole shebang to the 3/8" thick aluminum Saturn OD. Those holes were only designed to hold the bearing retainer cap and not the force generated by the extra weight and flex of the PTO and adapter. Just say'n.
I made my mounts out of a roller used on boat trailers puchaed off eBay. Increased the size to 1”. Remember “heat” is a great equalizer on rust.New body mounts from Walck's arrived, along with new u-joints for the rear driveline. The new rubber pucks should give me about 1/2" body lift over the original clapped out mounts. And my rear u-joints have been near death for years, time to deal with them while I'm under there...
Hoping to get after the body mounts this weekend, which I'm dreading. When we did Joseph's, most of the bolts had to be twisted off to remove them, and it was a very dirty job...
More to come!
Pete
