I have the tractor, it definitely has PTO. I *think* all Farmall tractors have PTO. That part of the story is without a doubt.
Engine speed is probably 1000rpm (my '52 Farmall Super M is 1200), the 540rpm PTO is almost a certainty. -Curt Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2012 18:03:41 -0600 From: Dieselhead <126die...@gmail.com> To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Volvo? now fast tractors Message-ID: <a06240827ccd1c61703d3@[192.168.1.70]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Yep. The tractor in question, if it had a pto, would have been 540 rpm@ 80% or so of engine power. 1080 RPM has more splines, and didn't come out until 1960s or so on high HP (for the time) tractors. ~90+ HP would have been high HP for the time. 966 and up Internationals had 1000 RPM available. I am not sure when it was first offered, or what models it was available, or when it became standard on certain models. Probably first appeared on JDs with the 4010 or 4020. I didn't find any info on when the high RPM PTO first appeared, but I did find that in 1945 Cockshutt introduced the first live PTO. >On Tue, 20 Nov 2012 13:03:17 -0600 Fmiser <fmi...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> PTO RPM is typically 540, as I recall, so 900 RPM is a bit fast. > >There are two standard PTO speeds now, 540 RPM and 1000 RPM. > > >See >http://salesmanual.deere.com/sales/salesmanual/en_NA/tractors/2010/feature/hitch_drawbar_and_pto/7030lf/7030lf_pto_options.html > >Craig _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
