I was at an auto junkyard looking for frame-parts for my 94 Chevy truck. I came across this NAA. I was told it had been sitting there for
7-8 years after it would not start one Spring. I agreed to buy it for $800 if I could get it running and the major stuff check out okay.
I have never come across a fuel system so plugged from such a relatively short period of time. I had to use drill bits to ream out the
passages in the carb and the sediment bowl. Filed the points, stuck a battery in it and it started right up. To my surprise, trans and
clutch works fine, PTO is fine, and engine runs great. So I now have it home. Came with a kind of awful loader with a manure bucket that I
will likely not use.
Question from a non-Ford guy. What the heck is the PTO shaft extension for? It is not an adapter and not an over-running clutch. Just an
extension.

The OEM PTO on the NAA is the larger 1 5/8 shaft, so I don't know what that was for.
