IH 574 PTO Question

John B. · Mar 1, 2009

Can a 1,000 rpm PTO be put in a 574 IH gas tractor? It has a 540 now and looks like there is a place to put a 1,000 just above the 540 shaft?

Thanks,

John

Yes it can be done. I did it to mine. You need the to replace the lower shaft with a longer one with the 1000 RPM splines on it. You also will need the cover with a hole and the appropriate seal and new gaskets. That shaft runs into the PTO clutch, which is accessible through the side cover. You’ll need to drain the hydraulic fluid of course. As I recall you have to drive a pin out of the shaft to remove it from the clutch. Not all that bad a process really.
