[AT] Cub PTO adapter

[George Willer]

Mike,

I don't know what you found, but it's not likely to be for a Cub or Kubota.
Maybe its' innards would work to fabricate one.  I'm wondering if it was
made to mount backward on a Cub or Kubota implement to allow use on a
standard tractor?

The one I have (unknown make) has its' case bolted directly to the
differential case.  The only one like it I've ever seen recently sold on
ebay for more than $800!

The more commonly seen one is the Hub City unit, and it mounts in the same
way without any brackets.  This is a poor copy of a catalog page showing
them.  They can bring $500.

In any event, free is good.
