Description
The Chelsea 281GMFJP-B5XR or 281GMFJPB5XR is a 281 Series hydraulically shifted (PowerShift) Power Take-Off designed for automatic transmissions with a 10-bolt aperture, including Allison and Caterpillar transmissions. It carries a single, continuous duty torque rating and delivers output power at 51+ kW (56+ HP). The 281 Series is an evolution of the 280 Series platform, introducing a ductile iron bearing cap rated 117% stronger than gray iron, an O-ring sealing configuration between the housing and bearing cap, and an 80% increase in steel disc thickness within the clutch pack. Nine speed ratios cover both low and high ranges. The cross-reference for this part is 280GMFJP-B5XR or 280GMFJPB5XR. Call us to confirm proper fit for your application.
