[Farmall] Non-working PTO on 1950 M

[Roberto Rivero]

I had to replace the PTO shaft of my B-450 Row-crop,  wich has the same rear
end than the M, you can have it out taking off the PTO and pull out the
shaft, with out splitting the tractor, of course you may be patient in order
to have the new shaft in its place again,  may be somebody in this
list knows how to handle the shaft in,  because it is heavy and large and
you donot have room to work  confortably.

Good luck     Roberto
