Looking for the proper name of the gear-box that converts a rear pto so a shaft can run under the tractor to the front. Or a comany that makes them.
Thanks

On our front mount snow blower, I believe that chain case is called a "drop box".

Do you know the brand of it?? I would like to price them out if I can find out who makes em. Think their gonna be pricey. But want to see how they design em. Poss. could adapte a truck transfer case but havent looked into it to see if it would even work.

Here is a link to the company.

Theirs is a simple two sprocket, open chain case.

It has been reliable on a 140 pto hp tractor blowing snow. we oil the chains after every use with chain saw "bar & chain oil" after every use
Still has the original #80 chain after 20 years.
The bearings are made to grease.
Snow blower.

Michigan Iron. I believe that they do hydraulic systems, but have also done mechanical. I belive the hydraulic is cheaper.
