Thanks for the info. That's just what I'm looking for.

 You asked if anyone has worked on a 300 PTO & how pricey are they -
 
 I have a very noisy PTO (noisy when not engaged) on my SMTA which I think
 has the same Live PTO as does the 3oo.  I have the transmission cover off
 (for another reason) so I figured now is the time to repair the PTO.  I
 haven't removed the unit from the tractor yet but it appears you do not have
 to remove the cover but simply drain the rear end and then remove the unit
 from the back of the tractor.  The unit appears to be self contained with a
 coupling on the front which connects to the shaft coming back through the
 transmission from the engine.
 
 FWIW I noticed in the Sept-Oct 2003 issue of Red Power Magazine that Mathis
 Equipment & Tractor Salvage in Cairo, Missouri (660-295-4456) has a
 SMTA/300-450 LPTO listed for $250.  If you opened up the unit on the 300 and
 found it would cost more than that to repair it you might opt for just
 replacing the whole unit -
