    PTO CONVERSION FOR A PUMA

    Hi all.

    Another wild idea I have been thinking about.

    Buying a farm and need a tractor to run various implements, but then I thought, I have the best darn tractor there is, sitting on the driveway.

    So, can anyone tell me if it is possible to retro fit a PTO from the puma transmission?

    Cheers

    They stopped being a seudo tractor decades ago. IMO do not bother. Keep the LR for what it is good at and get the tractor you need.

    Start by cutting a big hole in your rear crossmember...

    Would probably be cheaper buying a Series, finding a PTO and adapting it to run a rear linkage, than trying to find an LT230 PTO and butchering your chassis to suit.
    I can't imagine modern automotive diesel engines with EGR/DPF etc coping too well with sustained unfluctuating revs.

    Yes, I thought there would be a gear ratio to PTO problem with the synchronising, but needed someone else to point that out.

    Cheers for that guys.

    I asked something similar a long time ago, as I recall it stopped being an option with the end of the 300tdi (I think), seem to remember a 1995 uk sales brochure mentioning it as an option.

    3 point linkage on tractors are mostly hyd controlled, but you still have no mechanical PTO drive shaft.
