Don,
I am going from old memories and don't have a book
in front of me to back it up, but I believe one of
the features of the 430 was a live PTO. So you should
have a two stage clutch. That being the case your PTO
probably runs straight through the reverser housing
and gets it power directly from the clutch/flywheel,
and not from the transmission.
