[Ford-ferguson] Ford-ferguson Digest, Vol 60, Issue 10

With regard to message 3 below:

I have a reprint of the "Ford Tractor - Ferguson System - Service Manual for Owners and Mechanics," published by Harry Ferguson, Inc., Dearborn, MI in 1943.

On pages 58 and 59 you'll find a nice verbal description as well as an exploded diagram to show how to move belt from left to right for the PTO to provide you different functions.  " Belt Pulley    The belt pulley can be attached quickly to the rear of the tractor after removing the power take-off shaft cap and check chain brackets. It is a self-contained drive with with a 9" diameter and a 6.5" width pulley. Its speed is 1358 R.P.M. The pulley gear ratio to power take-off shaft is 1.87 to 1. Rotation in either direction can be had by mounting the belt pulley to the left or to the right of the center of the tractor, or it can be mounted with the pulley toward the ground. The latter position is often used when driving an irrigation pump.  

The belt pulley contains its own reservoir of oil, and should be kept filled to the high level plug with the same lubricant that is used in the transmission and differential.

Figure 155 shows the belt pulley parts. When it is necessary to overhaul the belt pulley, make sure the new gaskets are used; see that the bearings fit perfectly, and that the bolts and nuts are securely tightened."

I tried to send the exploded diagram to you as an attachment, but the byte size of the scan is too large to send. I'd be happy to mail it to you if anyone wants it, just give me your name and street address.  It's a big, clear diagram and all parts are numbered according to the original part, so it's easy to see and read.
