    Drive gear meshes and runs all the time. Has to have clearance just like a manual. The newer ones have a clutch pack applied by pressure from the transmission. That is controlled by a solenoid and an electric switch on the dash. They are expensive.. I thank directions come with the PTO.
    Older ones are manual cable shift.
    Should be information from Muncie and Chelsea PTO's on line.
    Need to know trans model and desired PTO speed. Call your PTO dealer.
     
    Goodysnap Thanks this.

    It’s a 2012 international 4400 with 3000rds Allison. Already tapped into wire 43 on Tcm but still doesn’t seem to activate the pump.

    I wish my memory was better. I put one on a 3000 in a 4700, it only works in neutral. Check and see if you are getting power on 43 or if it's completing the ground when in neutral. I have a switch on the dash and I think it needs a ground from the tcm.

    Is the PTO activated by the factory dash switches?
    Is the solenoid that controls the PTO on the PTO or separate?

    On mine we needed to add a switch. Our solenoid is on the pto. I forget where we got our information it was years ago. I would go ask the dealer. Our local dealer has always been really helpful with stuff like this.

    Is the solenoid getting power with the switch on?

    Is there power at the exposed terminals at the solenoid with the PTO switch on?
