Industrial PTO & Clutch - Proper Support Plate Installation

In this video, Jim from Palmer Johnson Power Systems demonstrates the correct steps to install a support plate on a Twin Disc PTO, discussing the necessary models, installation process, and the importance of proper alignment.

Which PTO Models Require a Support Plate?

Support plates are essential for specific PTO models including SP311, SP214, and larger models. Check your PTO spec or BOM# for confirmation.

Why Is a Support Plate Important?

A properly installed support plate keeps the PTO parallel to the engine crankshaft, relieving stress on the crankshaft and extending the life of the bearings.

Support plates help prevent damage to the clutch shaft and enhance the longevity of your PTO.
