In Reply to: RPM to PTO speed posted by John in pennsylvania on May 14, 2008 at 04:19:49:
Sorry I don't have any real data, but from all the brochures I've seen, the 540 rpm PTO speed occurs at the "full-load governed speed" of the engine. I'm looking at an old IHC brochure for the H and M. The "engine rpm" is given as 1650, and the PTO speed as 540. Manuals on repair and adjustment usually gave the maximum idle speed, which is naturally somewhat higher than the maximum full-load speed. This was usually easier to adjust than the full-load speed because it could be done with a tach (hand-held to the belt-pulley or PTO in the "old days") while the tractor was sitting. When the load was applied, the engine would then run at the "full-load speed." I agree with the writer who says the slight difference in engine speed won't hurt the implement you are operating with the PTO.
