I have a 480 im looking to install on a track machine. Does anyone know what direction the chain is supposed to spin on the input shaft. Thank you. Pics to follow

also was looking for input speed. I will be using an auxiliary box behind transmission so i should have 5 winching speeds but, i dont want it to grind at idle when trying to engage winches. Thank you

A 480 Holmes is a great until to recover with. It doesn't matter on which direction the chain turns because you would just be changing the direction the control handles work.

75% of engine speed is what you want the pto.  Like mentioned pto chain doesn't make a difference you can change the linkage up by the gear box so you can operate the handles either way you want, on the little wreckers they were usually forward was in backward was out but on the bigger units they went the other way since it's easier to pull and lean on the handles when winching for a long time.  My 480 is set up like the big trucks I like it better but that is preference.
