Aurelia, Iowa
That live PTO was a real pain for the application that we used. My dad had a 12 foot case (Hesston) pull type windrower that we pulled behind his 961 Ford diesel. I was only about 12 or 13 but I remember that every time that the windrower was about to plug up, I would hit the foot clutch too fast and it would stop the PTO too and then the windrower was really plugged. Even though it never worked well I still have fond memories of that tractor and doing alot of custom windrowing for the neighbors. Dad built a cab for that tractor and it was actually quite comfortable in the winter. I liked the 961 alot better than my Grandpa's 901 Select 0 Speed (Jerk O Matic).
