The Chelsea 878 Series Power Take-Off Assembly, part number 878XDFJP-M5RY or 878XDFJPM5RY, is a constant mesh PTO engineered for Allison and CAT 10-bolt transmissions. The 878 Series improves on the proven 877 Series platform with a ductile iron bearing cap rated 117% stronger than gray iron, an O-ring sealing configuration between the housing and bearing cap to reduce vibrational effects and improve clamp load, and an 80% increase in clutch pack disc thickness. The series carries a 670 lb-ft continuous torque rating and offers nine speed ratios spanning low and high ranges. Rotatable cast-iron flanges reduce interference clearance issues, and driveline outputs include a positive stop to eliminate oil seal damage. Hose is included. Applications span refuse, vacuum, aerial, and snow and ice equipment. Call us to confirm proper fit for your specific transmission.
The 878 Series is Chelsea's evolution of the 877 Series PTO, sharing the same 10-bolt Allison and CAT mounting footprint while adding structural and sealing improvements. Markets served include refuse trucks, vacuum trucks, aerial equipment, and snow and ice vehicles. The part number SP878XDFJP-M5RY may appear as a cross-reference in some catalog listings for this same assembly.
