PTO Speed Reducer
Rodono Industries, Ltd., Rt. 1, Clive, Alberta, Canada T0C 0Y0 (ph 403 784-3864; fax 403 784-2402): "Our new pto speed reducer is designed to allow larger tractors with 1,000 rpm pto's to run equipment at 540 rpm's. It requires 800 rpm's on the input shaft to provide 540 rpm's on the output shaft. This enables a large tractor to run at less than full engine speed while operating the 540 machine at full rpm's.
  "The speed reducer uses a double chain coupler on the input shaft to simplify the alignment. Input couplers are available in either 1 3/4 or 1 3/8-in. dia. splines. The output shaft is 1 3/8-in. diameter.
  "The gearbox is a high horsepower unit that weighs 195 lbs. so it needs to be rigidly mounted to the tractor. To simplify mounting, the gearbox is supplied with an attached steel base plate that can be drilled or welded as needed. The gearbox can also be special ordered for use as a speed increaser. Sells for $1,800 (Canadian) plus S&H."
