The selector may need realigning.

Yep we are considering that now, the selector shouldn't be to much hassle if it does get thrown out of position

If you extend the PTO drive it will interfere with the chassis. There just isn't a lot of clearance there.

Also, are you running a shaft that has a bearing in it so that it can clear eevrything? Thats what my one had, and it also goes over the gearbox chassis mount.

Is it the PTO unit that will hit the chassis or is it the shafts that will be the problem?

Hey Simon
when we get it extended we plan to rotate the drive anti-clockwise so it avoids the chassis and g'box mount
If we leave it where it is a hole chunk of the floor will have to get cut out to allow for the shafts just above the transfer (right hand rear corner of passenger footwell)
Our shafts are the bearing ones but that still doesn't allow them to fit over the transfer

CHEERS TIM.
