Just got my first ET last month, an E-20 that needs a complete rebuild.
My question is, has anyone considered using the brake shaft on the
transmission as a PTO shaft? Maybe it is not hooked up internally to allow
the driveshaft to turn it in neutral?
I saw several list comments about the marginal brakes on the ETs and thought
I might use go-cart brakes at the wheels (rotor mounted to the wheel
casting, caliper held by bracket from the transmission mounting bolts?).
This would free up the brake disc shaft to be a PTO shaft to drive maybe a
hydraulic pump for a loader or backhoe?
Anyone else considered this? Am I missing something obvious?
