[AT] Economy Jim Dandy

[Larry D. Goss]

Bob, to my knowledge there never was a rear PTO for the Jim Dandy. The
Power Kings had one available, but the frame of the JD is different, it
isn't set up for the necessary electric clutch, and there is no place
available to mount the PTO attachment like on the PK.  Available
horsepower is not a problem because the rear PTO attachments were sized
accordingly.  There is a three-point mounted tiller available for the JD
that has a solid shaft running all the way from the front of the tractor
to power it.  Depending on the differential in your tractor, it may work
with one of those.  Stan Wentworth (in lower Michigan) probably has some
for sale.

With only 14 hp at your disposal, even if you could rig up a PTO shaft 
somehow, you couldn't to a whole lot to clear the "back 40". If you want

to use the Jim Dandy that way, I suggest a tow-behind self powered mower

like a Swisher or Agri-Fab.
