I have a '49 A that I just put a finish mower on. Everything works fine but I was wondering about the proper way to hold the little spring-loaded PTO cover out of the way for the drive shaft to the mower. Currently I have it tied up with wire. Am I missing some kind of clip that holds it up when the PTO is in use? Thanks for any insight.

Thanks guys. Yes the larger cover is there and there's a little slot on the top at the rear of it. I imagine the slot is there for a reason but I haven't been able to figure out how the larger cover can hold up the spring loaded one. Is mine missing a clip or something? Or is my little cover missing something that engages the slot in the big cover? Heheh, better yet, am *I* missing something that's staring me right in the face?

Bill, actually you pull the big shield off then lift the flipper straight up then re-install the shield with the flipper sticking up through the slot in the top front of the shield. The whole idea of the flipper/shield arangement is the flipper is supposed to come down & either make noise or interfear with the PTO shaft if the PTO is attempted to be used without a shield. I looked & must have over 300 photos of J.D. tractors in my computers & don't have a picture of a flipper sticking through a master shield. If you still don't understand how it works re-post & I will take a digital photo of one of mine & send it to you.

Aha! Now it makes sense. No photos necessary. Thank you very much.

Bill, the reason that cover (flipper) is on there is to force you to use a PTO shield that either came with the tractor or the implement. The correct shield has a slot in it to hold the flipper up & away from the PTO shaft. I believe the proper shield for your tractor is AA 2297R.

Bill, there's a larger sheet metal shield that attaches to the rear PTO bearing housing around the spring-loaded cover. This shield has a cut-out where the spring-loaded cover is inserted and held up out of the way of the PTO shaft. The only tractors I've seen with this larger shield are show tractors that have not been coupled to a PTO shaft since restoration. My tractor hasn't had the spring-loaded cover since I got it so I don't have anything getting in the way when I hook up my mower. (Don't tell OSHA!) Unless you want to go to the expense and trouble of finding one of those shields, the wire is your next best bet.
