whfan74 2,015 #1 Posted October 26, 2015 Found a package deal last night and was only after one piece. I didn't want it to get away so dad came to the rescue and made the trip for me. Since he has been retired, he looks forward to the next adventure and loves going on tractor related runs! This PTO will get cleaned up and mounted on a tractor to display. Haven't seen too many of them so we jumped on this one as quick as possible. 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,406 #2 Posted October 26, 2015 Nice grab Scott. I've got some measurements of the guards in here.... http://s228.photobucket.com/user/jschahl/library/attachments/FarmPTO?sort=3&page=1 Let me know if you can't see it. Maybe you'll get lucky and someone has the extra guards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will also contact the previous owner to see if we can come up with something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,406 #6 Posted October 27, 2015 (edited) @whfan74 I removed the folder lock.Looks like you're just missing the two guards. The one over the big pulley is just sheetmetal same as any other belt guard, the other one over the PTO shaft is a little thicker gauge metal more like a mower chute deflector.Had mine mounted and out to a couple shows this year.

Pullstart 58,794 #8 Posted October 28, 2015 wow, that's a ginormous pulley on the front! what kind of reduction is in the PTO and what kind of equipment would be run on it? or maybe is it not even reduced, but just a large pulley that's direct driven?

CasualObserver 3,406 #9 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) The large pulley is the reducer... from 3600 RPM at the engine to around 540 at the output (depending on which pulley is on the engine. The shaft in the unit is just a straight shaft through the housing with a PTO spline pinned on one side.This would be for running stationary things like a bin auger or barn hay elevator.

c-series don 7,645 #11 Posted November 1, 2015 Damn, I want one of those. Not that I have anything to run with it but it is a rare attachment to have. I have been looking for a long time and can't seem to find one. One thing I know with this hobby is patience is a virtue and sooner or later one will pop up. I waited for years to find a good sweepster c-48 broom and finally found one. Isn't there another one that mounts underneath the tractor as well? After talking to some of the guys at the big show the consensus is that there was not a big demand for these and therefore not a lot of them made. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whfan74 2,015 #13 Posted November 2, 2015 . Isn't there another one that mounts underneath the tractor as well? Yes, that is even harder to find than the one pictured above. Just curious if any of the members have the one that mounts underneath? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep... another nice restoration by @mnWHfanhttp://www.wheelhorseforum.com/topic/37286-sears-ff20-restoration-in-progress/ I want one! The old Craftsmans and Suburbans are great machines! I gather the FF was not only the biggest ever offered by Sears but with options not seen anywhere else either! Specs, but of course not looks, reminds me of my Lxi. Heck, the FFs even had optional front and rear PTOs! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
