Thanks again for the reply, I'm still confused about the "non independent" PTO though. I'm used to terms like "live" and "ground speed" With the woodsplitter we are sitting still of course lol. and have it set in live with the tractor trans in neutral. and tractor running prob 1800. Willl this 240 do this? Im not too worried if the tractor doesnt have a 3pt which I'm not sure whether or not is does yet. But I'm sure I can fabricate a 3 pt conversion if it hasnt already been done. My friend didnt say what it has I'm sure he assumed it was like most tractors.


Independent PTO means it has a separate clutch for the PTO and will run when you push the ground speed clutch in. 240s came out in 1958 and most tractors had IPTO by that time. Some had a two stage clutch wherein you pushed the clutch part way down and stopped the drive transmission, but the pto kept running if the pto was in gear. Not as good as the IPTO, but better than nothing.

Mine has the two aux. valves and has an aftermarket power steering. It looks like they operated the loader at one time, but the front pump must have been added to speed it up and compensate for the lost flow when the flow divider and PS was added. The loader is an IH Wagner 120, pretty heavy duty for the size of tractor, and the reservoir is built into the frame of the loader... just wish it was a quick attach so I could take it off easily. Also mine has the upright muffler, not underneath. The engine is rated 40 hp, but drawbar is only about 27... a little more than the older Super C, but not much. It is really a sweet running little motor though.

Today's Featured Article - A City Guy's First Tractor - by Fred Hambrecht. After living in apartments in Atlanta for more years than I care to remember, the wife and I decided to move to the country. Humming "Green Acres is the place for me..." we purchased a 29 acre tract about 60 miles south of Atlanta. Next came the house, I could talk about that ordeal for another two weeks... But, I want to talk about my tractor! We didn't even own a lawnmower, and all of a sudden we had enough grass to feed all the starving children of the bovine world. Naturally, I talked ...
