Nice. I have a 1970 D-145. On mine somebody has changed the original 470 out for a 504. Really can't tell its not the original engine unless you look real close. Can you share pictures of the PTO? I've always wondered how that was set up on those. I've heard they weren't a live PTO either but I am not sure.
Hello - I'll get a pic of the back. It looks like the shaft from the transmission turns all the time. It runs to a gear box mounted at the back. There is a cable running from a lever next to the seat back to the gear box to engage it. It looks like a very simple sliding gear setup, so I bet the tractor has to be stopped to engage it.
