A friend is giving me a Ferguson which I think is a to-20 because the serial number is TO-20472. I have never owned or driven a tractor and this one is stuck in mud and has to be surgically removed from some trees.
The problem is there is a tree grown up between the tractor and the mower deck which is currently attached to the tractor.
I can see how to release the three places it is attached with big metal pins and cotter pins. But will the mower drive shaft that is attached to the back of the tractor PTO just slip off when I drag the tractor away or does something have to be released. All I can see are some big heavy bolts on the two universal joints at both ends of the drive shaft which don't look as if I should have to be removing them.
If anyone can help me identify my tractor and tell me how to free it from the mower deck, I would greatly appreciate it.
I am just getting my first taste of tractor rescue from the briar patch and have to ask the most basic questions.
Thanks,
Jane

If you go to the left side of the page in this forum, under Research and Info, you'll see a heading called Serial Numbers. If you look in there you'll find that your tractor is a 1951 TO-20. Regarding removing the mower, there should be a small pin on the splined fitting of the DRIVEN shaft that attaches to the tractor PTO shaft. Pressing that button and pulling on the splined fitting should enable you to disconnect the mower DRIVEN shaft from the tractor PTO shaft. If for some reason (rust, dirt, or damage) you can't disconnect the DRIVEN shaft that way, you will probably find that the driven shaft is a telescoping shaft (a shaft within a shaft) and moveing the tractor forward or the mower backward will cause the shafts to slide apart and disconnect. You'll need to move 2-3 feet or so to do this, however.
