CwazyWabbit Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 The oil catcher is missing from the hydraulic PTO I picked up the other day, the part looks simple enough to make but I need a few dimensions. The part is part 31 in the following exploded diagram. The two main dimensions I am after are the overall length and the diameter of the pipe .... length of cut out would be handy too I guess.

Simon Smith Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I don't know, but would assume the cutout has to align with the transfer box gear, and be slightly wider than it. Which doesen't help unless you have the transfer box apart does it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 Actually that helps a lot as I have a scrap transfer box to compare on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 When you've made it, do post up the measurements as I'm not 100% sure my PTO has one of those now I've seen this thread... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daan Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I have never seen one of these in my life, but have seen them mentioned on the partslist, like yourself. I has not been a problem, although with dropbox has its own oil volume. plus if you do a decent hill climb, the PTO gets more oil than it would ever dream off.

When I've worked it out I'll post up some pictures and measurements. I have never seen one of these in my life, but have seen them mentioned on the partslist, like yourself.

Daan I hope at some point to use this for both winching and using a log splitter, whilst the winching would probably be fine as you suggest I'd be a bit more worried about the extended use with a stationary vehicle when log splitting. It would be interesting to know if anyone has actually got the oil catcher fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Finally found some pictures of fitted ones, it does seem to just be made of some brazed up bits of pipe. What confuses me is what holds it firm, in the pictures you can see it's not a tight fit in the holes, yet doesn't droop I think I'll turn mine out of solid bar as I have some kicking about.

Ruuman Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Mine and a mate both have the tube fitted, we found a bit of RTV did the trick fine to hold it in place. obviously be careful when bolting back up to the transfer box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CwazyWabbit Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Cheers Ruuman I take it that it is as loose a fit as it looks then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickeyw Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Ruu I was about to dig out the one I remade, based on your one. Looks like Barry got there first though, he doesn't sleep you know The head of this part is trapped between the PTO housing and the back of the trf box. This should prevent it drooping unless the counterbore is much deeper than the head thickness. Then there is a tang that stops it rotating so the open side faces upward. That should be sufficient. I'll measure and draw mine up (when I get to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 oops, just read this properly. Barry you only have pictures to go on. Yes, it is a piece of tube with a bung brazed in one end and the head on the other end. The side of the tube is cut away to collect oil thrown up, rather than clear another gear I believe. I was lucky enough to find a piece of stainless tube the right diameter to make mine from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruuman Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Hi Mickey, I was wondering if you would see this. Might be worth drawing up the drive centralizer thing as well if you get 5mins (obviously busy it work ) be a good one for the tech archives. Also I must give you your impact driver set back.

CwazyWabbit Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Dimensions would be brilliant Mickey if you could get them Especially as most people who have an oil catcher have it buried away in their transfer box!. What is a drive centraliser? is that the cross shaped part linking PTO to pump? BTW I do sleep ..... mostly while the mrs is talking at me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruuman Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 hehe, yes that's right. the X circle thing. Seems to be the other part that regularly gets lost along with the oil feed. Micky made both bits when I got hold of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Well I discovered I had already modelled the oil catcher, as well as the drive elements not shown in the picture above. Just throwing some drawings together. For the moment here are some screen grabs of what we are talking about: And Ruu, yes I'd love my impact set back please.
