	It had me wondering, Charlie, as I had always associated that
rear hydraulic pump as being active only when the PTO was engaged. I ran
the D-12 last weekend before I bought it. Used all the gears forward and
reverse including using the Hi-Lo lever and also ran the Bush Hog for a
short while. I was almost positive I had the PTO off and the Bush Hog
had quit turning before I raised it up off the ground. Couldn't be sure
but the seller was behind the tractor and it made me nervous when he
walked up to it when the blade was turning. I would never have had the
blade going with the Bush Hog up in the air anyhow unless I was all
alone in a field. So it does have a live hydraulic system. Thanks,
Charlie.

	I noted that the "new" D-12 has dual hydraulic levers like the
old one does so each of the cylinders can be raised separately. This is
mostly used with cultivators if it is desired to raise one before the
other and is also used if pulling a disc or other implement and using
a remote hydraulic cylinder. The seller said he had never used the 2nd
lever and didn't know "if it worked or not". I see it has a remote
hydraulic hookup on the rear that he has also never used then either.
