[Ford-ferguson] Replacing PTO shaft, TO-20

[potvin4312 at sbcglobal.net]

I just changed my shaft last year. I bought a kit that was around $100. Its 
comes as a complete unit, bearing and seal included. I suppose if you parked 
it on an incline that it would minimize or eliminate any fluid leak. I just 
put a 5 gallon bucket underneath the shaft hole and removed the old shaft. 
Don't remember how much oil came out, but the bucket was more than enough to 
handle it. The whole process took about an hour to complete.
