I erroneously reported previously that it was from a 986. Several helpful replies, all to the effect that it was possible to swap in the 540/1000 pto to replace my 1000 rpm pto in my 1586. But it was pointed out to me that it was not a direct bolt-in, that I might have to make an adaptor, that I guess the input shaft was larger on the 1586. Any ideas on what to prepare for? We have a good machine shop, I just haven't taken the pto out of my 1586 yet. Thanks. [Reply]   [No Email]

If the pump assemblies are the same they can be swapped to give you the correct shaft for your tractor. [Reply]  [No Email]

Other wise there is also a connecting shaft that has different size splines on each end. I don't remember now which tractors they were, hopefully someone else here can tell you. I think it was either one of the 2+2s or one of the 50 series. [Reply]  [No Email]

They are similar in that they appear to have the same bolt-patterns, but the 1586 only has 1000 rpm, and the 1086 has the two shafts. What I want is the option of using 540 rpm as well as the 1000. Would swapping in the two-shaft unit require that I obtain something from another tractor than a 1586 or 1086? [Reply]  [No Email]
