Description
The Chelsea 489XCAHX-M3AF or 489XCAHXM3AF is an 8-bolt power take-off from the 489 Series, designed to bolt directly to manual transmissions including Eaton Fuller, Mack, and Tremec without an adapter plate. The one-piece cast iron housing eliminates the adapter plate leak path common to earlier designs. This unit delivers up to 250 lb-ft intermittent torque, matching the 442 Series capacity, and shifts via wire/cable mechanical actuation. Output is a 1-1/4″ round shaft with key, rated at 24 HP at 500 RPM and 48 HP at 1,000 RPM. Tapered output bearings replace needle bearings for improved radial load capacity. Internal components are interchangeable with the 442 Series, simplifying parts stocking. A genuine Chelsea part sold by Pro Gear and Transmission. Call us to confirm proper fit for your application.
