The Chelsea 890ECFJW-B5XS or 890ECFJWB5XS is a hydraulic hot-shift PTO from the 890 Series, built specifically for Allison 3000 MD and 4000 HD Series transmissions. It uses a 10-bolt mounting configuration and delivers an SAE C ("XS") output shaft with Wet Spline Technology to extend pump shaft life under demanding duty cycles. The one-piece main shaft eliminates input splines between the PTO and output extension, and the clutch position at the rear of the unit tucks the housing tightly against the transmission for improved pump clearance. Continuous-duty torque for the 890 Series reaches 670 ft-lbs, with shaft power rated at 64 HP at 500 RPM and 128 HP at 1,000 RPM. Common applications include aerial, fire and rescue, refuse, and truck crane service. Call us to confirm proper fit for your specific transmission configuration.

The 890 Series mounts like a standard side-mount PTO but includes an additional support bracket at the rear of the transmission. It is a single-unit design, not a PTO paired with a separate extension, which simplifies installation and reduces potential failure points. The 890 Series is suited for vehicles where pump space is restricted, including aerial trucks, fire and rescue apparatus, snow and ice equipment, and refuse trucks. Units can be ordered to accommodate transmissions equipped with or without a cooler or retarder.
