[AJD] JD 430U reverser/PTO

[Bill Maki]

Don,

My 1959 430T has two drive shafts, one inside the other and a two stage
clutch.  Push the clutch pedal half way down and the transmission
disengages, push the pedal all the way down and the pto disengages.  I
don't have the reverser on mine but my sense is the transmission and pto
operate independently of each other with the reverser affecting only the
transmission.  I'd hate to see the results of a pto reversing while
under load.

I recently purchased a 1959 John Deere 430U.  One of the members in a
local
tractor club was telling me that if the 430 series tractor had a
reverser it
did not have a PTO.  In looking at mine, it has both from what I can
tell.

Since the reverser is between the transmission and the clutch, I can see
how
it will totally reverse the direction of the transmission.  The question
is,
won't the reverser also change the direction of the PTO.  This does not
seem
to be a good feature. Is it common to have a reverser and a PTO?

Comments
