took side plate off my 1950-51 ford 8n to clean sludge out of housing, and this O ring was on shaft? I know it doesn't go towards engine, but can't see how it would fit through housing towards rear? pto works perfect, but lift doesn't want to go down, once raised. I took ring of shaft. will it hurt to run pto without it, and where does it go? I have posted a picture for reference. thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum. Picture didn't load.
Probably because it is your first post.
I think you need to post a few times or ask permission
from the forum moderators to be able to post pictures.
I can't help you much on the o-ring, but if you want to email
me the picture I'll post it for you. RoyseTractors at gmail.com

Ford was slow on the uptake:
"The first patent for the O-ring, is dated May 12, 1896 as a Swedish patent. J. O. Lundberg, the inventor of the O-ring, received the patent.[2] The US patent[3] for the O-ring was filed in 1937 by a then 72-year-old Danish-born machinist, Niels Christensen.[4] Soon after migrating to the USA in 1891, he patented an air brake system for streetcars (trams). Despite his legal efforts, his intellectual property rights were passed from company to company until they ended up at Westinghouse.[4] During World War II, the US government commandeered the O-ring patent as a critical war-related item and gave the right to manufacture to other organizations."
