[AT] [External] Caution: antique tractor usage

[Cecil Bearden]

Just a note FYI, there are pillow blocks that use a flat OD bearing as 
they are not self aligning pillow blocks.  Self align blocks are higher 
priced..   The bearing holder in the case of a PTO shaft is really a 
trunnion mount if we want to be technically accurate.
