Abstract:
A dual output shaft power take-off includes a rigid housing that is mounted on a vehicle transmission or engine. The housing further includes an input gear that is meshedly engaged with a gear located in the transmission or engine and is rotated when the vehicle is in operation. The housing even further includes a pair of output gears that are meshedly engaged with the input gear and each output gear is supported on an individual output shaft. Each of the output shafts includes an attachment means for attachment of a rotationally driven device. A pair of shifting fork assemblies are located within the housing each of which engages a respective one of the output shafts in order to selectively engage or disengage each output shaft. A pair of switch means are each operatively connected to a respective one of the shifting fork assemblies, so that when the switch is activated, the corresponding output shaft is engaged or disengaged.
