Rear Power Take-Off (RPTO)
The Rear Power Take-Off (RPTO) is an integral part of the flywheel housing. The rear power take-off is positioned on the rear of the engine at approximately one o'clock. The rear power take-off provides continuous power through a series of three direct drive gears, the crankshaft gear, the idler gear, and the output shaft gear. These gears are driven off the rear of the crankshaft. The RPTO turns 1.2 revolutions for each revolution of the engine crankshaft. The output shaft rotates in the same direction as the engine crankshaft. All bearings and all thrust surfaces are internally lubricated. The RPTO requires no additional maintenance.
