I just bought a 49 Oliver 66. It is largely complete, but needs a valve job. It has no PTO, just a plate over the hole. This weekend I went to the Farm Days show in Dacusville, SC where I looked at two model 66's on display there (with about 400 other tractors). Both those two 66's were missing their PTO units, also. Someone please tell me what's up with that. Was it common for 66's to be sold without PTO? I would have thought everyone would have wanted it.

I'm wondering if the ones you saw at the show were stripped to lighten them up for pulling. A common practice.

Well, I can"t speak with any degree of authority, but I have a theory. I have a 1950 66RC and when I got it the PTO housing was in place, but only a plastic cap covered the hole where the PTO stub shaft should have been. PTO clutch lever was also missing.

When I investigated the situation, (my memory is a little fuzzy here as I did this several years ago) I found that the forward portion of the PTO housing was broken through the area where the front bearing was originally located. I can only guess, but the strength of this housing may have been a weakness in the design. Possible overloading or excessive twisting of the PTO stub shaft may have resulted in housing failure. I guess if the user didn"t really need to use the PTO very often, he didn"t bother to replace the housing.

I bought a replacement housing off eBay and it all now works fine.
