Toying with the idea of taking my Ford 860 and IH 2A hay conditioner to a antique farm equipment event next year. Give me some ideas on mowers that had a rear PTO to run a hay conditioner.
 
Has it got to be an antique? NH 3 point hitch mowers are around, with PTO and hitch, but maybe not old enough for your purposes? AC twin wheel mowers had a straight through drive shaft like the NH, so the PTO drive was easy to do. I don't see many of them around though.
 
I would prefer something 1950's or early 1960's vintage but may have to go with something else based on availability. Thanks for confirming what I thought on the NH. Plenty of time to line this up. I started working on the 2A this afternoon straitening the PTO shield. Got fed up with a certain Western NY NFL team losing so I needed to do something to change the pace. I've got the shield pretty good but will check again tomorrow. I think I am SOL on decals for it.
 
the "10" series Case mowers had a rear shaft to power a conditioner also, that would be in the time period, they made mounted 3pt and trial-type models
cnt
 
Oliver, Cockshutt and Moline 315 mowers all the same except for paint . trail type with the PTO shaft, even if they did not have the hitch to pull conditioner they had the shaft. Used one for years pulling conditioner. The John Deere No. 9 mower was a 3 point hitch model designed that it would fit your tractor but I do not know if it was made with that shaft. You can find out if you go to the Deere parts lookup site. Think the No. 11 trail type had the hookup, same age as the No. 9
 

We have 2 mowers with PTO's out the back. One is a John Deere #39 and the other is an International 120.

MF 41 could have one, shown in op manual. I am guess they were optional not standard on any mower that had them.
