[AT] Cub PTO adapter

[Mike Sloane]

I am afraid you are correct, Ron. 

The guy who gave it to me said that he thought he got it from "Junky Crane", a local tractor salvage yard operator familiar to some of our eastern PA members. I wonder how he came to have it, as he pretty much deals with ordinary IH, JD, Oliver, and Ford machinery.

Bummer.
