TYIA, Rich If you mean the Electric PTO any one from Charger/Electros will work. It is also possible with a bit of modification to retro fit a manual PTO from Chargers Raiders etc... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rpilote 20 #3 Posted August 5, 2021 I am not sure what Charger/Electros is. Yes, it is the mower PTO I am addressing here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 18,711 #4 Posted August 5, 2021 Other WHs that had electric PTOs. I just did a quick look around.. The old Electric PTOs are getting harder to find and pricey. What diameter is your crankshaft 1 or 1-1/8" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rpilote 20 #5 Posted August 5, 2021 Not sure, but I needed a 1" bolt to remove the pto and pulleys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 60,333 #6 Posted August 5, 2021 If you were able to come by the entire PTO unit from a 953 or 1054 that will fit on the 1 1/8" crankshaft and do the job. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is possible to swap the pulley portion for a 1 or 1-1/8 cranksahft. Many parts will interchange like the field coil What is wrong with the current PTO.??

oliver2-44 10,778 #8 Posted August 6, 2021 @rpilote Please post a picture of your electric PTO and what part is bad. I have some electric PTO from other brands. I don’t want to get your hopes up, but there is slight chance they might work and. Would love to help your grandson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rpilote 20 #9 Posted August 6, 2021 The shaft is 1&1/8. The hot wire is broken going into the PT coil, and I see no way to repair it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 18,711 #11 Posted August 6, 2021 Not the same style PTO but the idea of drilling into the end of the wire stub and putting in a very small screw??? Might be worth a try. You can skip the first half of the videa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
