If I'm thinking & remembering correct , mid PTO was an option on several '71'-'72' 20 series Waterloo tractors, Our 4320 & 4620 don't have mid PTO, but probable could have had it as an ordered option .. I'm pretty sure on '71'-'72' 3020 & 4020 [and maybe 2520] it was standard equip.
 
I have seen 4000s with about every option including 3 scvs,mid pto,1000 pto in place,HFWA,heavier cast wheels,factory cab w/A/C so would assume all could be dealer ordered at least in 71/72.The 4000 due to low number produced 8095 and number of power shifts known 412[9 being P.S.] are more collectable to some than 4020s[which I prefer]A 4000 gas with factory Hinsen cab sold for around $25K at Mecums[ believed] to be only one.They are a unique tractor .A fellow called the other day and was starting a 4000 club.
 
A 4000 was meant to be a price competitor.
That's the reason they were cheaper and lighter
made than a 4020.
If one added all options available I think would
defeat that purpose.
You ended up with a 4020 with smaller axles and
lighter hitch and less sheet metal.
 
I may need to join that club.How many 4000 do you have to own to join?[LOL]....What about a 72 3020 ps club wont be many members...
