[AT] history of PTO's on tractors .... when LIVE PTO

[Cecil Bearden]

I think the earliest live PTO was on the WD Allis Chalmers. Built to 
power the AC roto baler.  The hand clutch stopped forward travel and 
left he PTO running.   I really liked running my old WD, just hated the 
seat.  I still have kinks in my back from it...
