[AT] OT Lawn Tractor Mfg.

Good for you.  Those two considerations on the design of a rear PTO for
that tractor are good.  I spent enough time on my back in a hayfield
cutting the grass off the PTO shaft under the tractor frame to know that
there must be NO moving parts exposed to the field.  You're right about
the variability of PTO speeds.  I think you'll find four different ones
and of course the waters get muddied by the direction of rotation, too.
Woods seems to be able to put together any of the eight combinations.
Other manufacturer's aren't as accommodating.

You should have received an email from Ron a few minutes ago spelling
out the status of the Yahoo portal.

I'm almost done, I was watching folks on PK talk about the factory one.
Mine will be a 1" shaft running inside a tube and mounted so it is out
of the way of factory attachments. I won't have to remove it to use
other attachments. Still debating about the final ratio though, I have a
standard tiller and post hole digger that are both set up for 1000 RPM
use, but those are rare items, most cat 0 stuff seems to be 2000 RPM.
Thanks for the offer though,  heard anything off list from Ron?
