Hi - I'm from the UK and new to big Auto gearboxes - we have a Unipower ex Fire tender that we are converting to an off road truck which is fitted with an Allison 653 3 speed box - it has a PTO fitted which was driving the Godiva water pump but are looking to fit a prop driven winch - the question is can the pto be driven in reverse so that the winch can be 'let out'?
Also there is a water cooled oil cooler fitted - we are going to remove this as it is no longer required but can we fit two blanking plugs on the box where the flow/return pipes came out?
Thanks in anticipation
