Hi Chuck,

Thanks for clarifying the process for upgrading a SAE B (7/8"-13T) PTO to a wet splined SAE BB (1.0"-15T) PTO. I'm on your heels! This upgrade is on my short list.

Concerning the use of flex hose in place of the steel U-Pipe. From our Document Library, the Chelsea 267 PTO Installation documentation, page 3, has this to say:

Chelsea strongly recommends the use of pump supports (Support Brackets) in all applications.
P.T.O. warranty will be void if a pump bracket is not used when:
1) The combined weight of pump, fittings and hose exceed 40 pounds [18.14 kg].
2) The combined length of the P.T.O. and pump is 18 inches [45.72 cm] or more from the P.T.O.
centerline to the end of the pump.


It's been a while, but I think our combined PTO + Pump length is shorter than 18 inches and I think we come in at less than 40 lbs. If not, then the steel flex pipe does serve as a support of sorts. (It's better than nothing)!
