Does anyone know if the input shaft to the PTO unit on the later large frame Farmalls runs at engine speed or is it geared down? Thanks, Sam
 
706 PTO driveshaft runs about .483 X engine RPM (28 tooth gear driving a 58 tooth gear), or basically 1000 RPM, as the 1000 RPM PTO is direct-driven from it.
 
Perfect, thank you. I have a friend working on gearing up a sawmill and he wants to run the engine at ~2400 and needs 1000rpm to run the mill. He was thinking he could use the PTO unit from one of these tractors as a gear reduction to get the 1000 rpm out. I see it's not going to be quite that simple. Thanks, Sam
