ABSTRACT:
A power takeoff attachment for a conventional road vehicle includes a base member with a rod extending transvesely thereto and of a length so that the outer end thereof can be inserted into a pivot coupling for example provided by a V-shaped space between the torsion bar bracket and the frame of the vehicle. A rear edge of the base can be bolted to the transverse beam of the frame of the vehicle with the angle of the base being adjusted by the bolted connection. The base carries bearing blocks which support the power takeoff shaft and in one example an electric clutch. Drive is communicated to the shaft via chain or belt coupling from a sprocket mounted at the pulley of the vehicle engine and attached to the pulley by bolts which pass into the pulley and into the crank shaft. The power takeoff shaft including a splined recess is exposed at a front end of the vehicle and can be used to drive an implement for example a snowblower or pump which can be slid rearwardly onto sleeve-shaped brackets carried on an underside of the vehicle frame. In another example, an electric clutch is mounted at the pulley.
