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.
