ABSTRACT:
A bearing cap used with a power take-off unit includes a body having a relatively large central opening formed through it. A first plurality of apertures is formed through the body of the bearing cap about the periphery of the body to secure it to the housing of the power take-off unit and for securing certain types of driven accessory mounting flanges to the bearing cap. A second plurality of apertures is also formed through the body of the bearing cap about the periphery of the body. The second apertures are provided for securing mounting flanges adapters to the bearing cap to permit certain other types of driven accessory mounting flanges to be secured to the bearing cap. Different bearing caps are provided with differing numbers of these second apertures. The mounting flange adapters have a plurality of apertures formed through them. In the preferred embodiment, the number of apertures formed through the mounting flange adapter is equal to the product of the number of apertures formed through the bearing caps with which it is to be used.
