The Chelsea 288 Series Power Take-Off (part number 288GMFJW-M8RF or 288GMFJWM8RF) is a heavy-duty, 10-bolt constant mesh PTO built on the 281 Series platform. It delivers a single, continuous duty torque rating of up to 390 lb-ft, making it a reliable choice for refuse, vacuum, aerial, and snow-and-ice truck applications. The cast iron housing and ductile iron bearing caps, 117% stronger than gray iron, are designed to handle the vibration demands of modern engine designs. An o-ring sealing configuration between the housing and bearing cap improves clamp load and reduces vibrational wear. The standard output shaft features a round shaft with a 1-1/4" key and a positive stop to prevent oil seal damage. Nine speed ratios cover both low and high speed needs. Call us to confirm proper fit for your application.
