Tool Holds Pto And Driveline Components In A Vise
  Gerald Westhoff, New Vienna, Iowa: “Holding pto and driveline components in a vise can be a challenge because it’s hard to hold them in place while turning the handle. After 30 years of working with pto’s and drivelines, we’ve developed a ‘C’ frame press that uses a special hydraulic jack and custom tooling to press bearing caps out of yokes; press bearing caps out of yokes to save the cross and bearing set; install a new cross and bearing kit; and hold pto halves so the safety shield can be removed.
  “In addition, we designed a table with the ‘C’ frame press mounted to it, along with tooling to hold and align the pto drivelines while installing new parts. A back panel stores the tooling for easy access. The tooling works with American and Metric ag drivelines.
  “We’re selling it through New Vienna Metal Works, Inc., a service center with a large inventory of American and metric pto yokes, cross kits, and shafting from Neapco, Weasler,
G&G and others (ph 563 921-3445; www.NVmetalworks.com).”
