Abstract

See full text

PTO systems having reduced gear rattle are disclosed. Embodiments include a PTO having an input gear and an intermediate gear engaging the input gear. The intermediate gear rotates about fixed rotational axis. The input gear is attached to the intermediate gear by a support whereby the rotational axis of the input gear is capable of pivoting about the rotational axis of the intermediate gear at a fixed distance, following an arcuate path. The input gear is configured to engage a transmission gear, and biased to pivot toward the transmission gear, thereby reducing or eliminating gear rattle from overly loose engagement between meshing teeth on the intermediate and transmission gears.
