Planetary LPTO from 560. Seller thinks it has to go freight. It may qualify for parcel delivery. Need accurate weight estimate. Thanks.

CraigChristian · Dec 25, 2009

If I'm not mistaken, Priority boxes take anything up to 70 lbs !! A pair of Cub front wheel weights (52 lbs total) go into one Priority box for whatever they cost now !! mailman wasn't real thrilled, but that's life. Good luck. Craig

With the spacer used on utility tractors, it would be 135 lbs. Subtract about 5 lbs for the spacer?

been a few years but ups did have a program where heavy packages could be shippid if it met size restrictions. standard package to 70 lbs and heavy to 140 lbs. special heavy label was required and more $. used to pack salvage carbide inserts in 5 gallon pail for shipment to recycler. that pto looks like it might fit in a pail, s uggest apiece of plywood/particle board be placed below and on top so tin bucket doesen't get a hole in it. answers are only a phone call away. hope this helps. leroy

Weigh your self on bathroom scales then pick up part and weigh again it will get you close enough.

Where i worked for many years we did UPS, and i know that you can ship anything under 150lbs throught them. Im sorry but dont know the actually amount UPS needs a zip code and weight/size of package to determine the amount.

I would try UPS too. As suggested use your bathroom scales as this will give you a ballpark figure. Hal

Yeah, UPS will take it. Parcel post is out. They re-wrote the rules. I'd make a little pallet for it. And make sure the oil is drained. You don't want the liability of it leaking and ruining someone elses packages.

They don't really fit in a pail. The do fit, but it will deform the pail and you will never get a lid on it. TRUST ME! I have one sitting in my grainery that I took off my SMTA and went to store it in a pail with lid and it was a no go. If you turn the pail into an oval it will work, but not that well.

UPS, we always shipped soil samples that were over 70. Like stated, anything up to 150 lbs.

He is buying this from another guy so he does not have the ability to weigh it on a bathroom scale. He could tell the other guy to do that. I am guessing this is the reason he is asking US to help him out. I am not sure how heavy they are, but they are pretty darn heavy. You could barely lift it with one hand in the pail.

135# will be very close. i always use fedex to ship things that weigh over seventy and up to one hundred and fifty pounds. they are quite a bit cheaper than ups on the heavier stuff. just sent some tractor tire chains and fedex was thirty dollars less than ups. the 'brown' guys must pay alot for that roll of tape that says 'over seventy lbs.'

Wardner · Dec 26, 2009

Thanks for the response.

Seller says he can ship it for $75. I don't think UPS or Fedex will do it much cheaper. I have lost my UPS account due to inactivity but their higher cost on-line estimator came in at $102.55 for !35 pounds going about 800 miles.

All I really want is the rear plate as found on Utilities and some 560-660. May be able to work out something there.

Wardner,

On our other subject, I am chasing manuals in several directions. I will let you know if I find one.

Wardner · Dec 26, 2009

Thanks Harold,

I went to the site that you linked to. Roadless has a number manuals but they are listed by their Roadless part numbers. There is no indication what tractors the individual manuals apply to. I am guessing that most apply to Fords. They are much easier to convert due to the shaft between the transmission and differential. In other words, they didn't use a transaxle like IH.

All I really want to know is whether the mechanical front drive power source comes from the left side bull pinion shaft or whether Roadless cut into the side of the rear frame to get access to the transmission main shaft. I don't think they did it like Elwood whereby the power comes from the sliding 4th gear through the belt pulley opening.

The bull pinion shaft is less disireable because it really needs a locking differential. However, the B-450 had that feature.

Is the PTO somewhere near SE Wisconsin? If so, I will go pick it up and send you the plate and I will take the PTO part. It would save me having to rebuild mine!

Wardner · Dec 26, 2009

It is 357 miles from Racine, WI to Farwell, MI. Looks like it is too far for your pickup but I would be willing to make the deal. Need to know by 9pm today your time.

sflem849 · Dec 26, 2009

80 bucks seems reasonable. How much is the plate worth? How much would it cost me to rebuild mine?

Wardner · Dec 26, 2009

I think it will go for more than $81. And don't forget the $75 shipping if you don't have a way to pick it up.

It is starting to move out of my price range. I won't bid it so as not to raise your bid. I will give you $40 for the plate and shipping.

Wardner · Dec 26, 2009

USPS has a flat rate box that is large enough. Cost is $10.35.

That makes it pretty reasonable, but I was on the forum and wasn't paying attention. Sorry man.

Wardner · Dec 26, 2009

Don't worry about it. It was too far for you to travel. My cost would have been $157 plus.

When I looked at the bidder list, I thought you may have bid it. The last two bids came from the same guy, who was new, and were made this evening. The winner raised his bid and it was probably way over $100. Neither one of us would have had a chance unless we put in a very high bid .

I actually have the plate on my 660. I was thinking about having the same plate on my W-400. If I need to put that plate on my W-400, I will swap LPTOs. Easy job but may not be stock to have a flat plate on a 660. I dunno. Suppose I could check the parts book.

It's over 250 miles for me to get to a good salvage yard. One of these days I'll find an excuse to make the trip. There is a yard in PA that has alot of heavy stuff ( W-series wheel weights) that I want.
