What is this?

Q-141 · Sep 8, 2020

Found this in the in-laws barn when picking up a '69 4020 with 4,800 hrs. He previously had a 4440 and a combine of unknown vintage, this thing was sitting in a pile, it was green, so I took it with. Took it to a Deere shop in Rowley Ia, nobody there had a clue what it was, not even the "old guy" of the shop.
It looks like the splines are 1000 rpm, When I got back to my shop I tried it on the front PTO on the 4020, it seemed to fit.
What the heck would it be for? it appears to not have ever been used.

He can’t post a picture as this was his first post on this site.

Maybe they had a 5501 or a 7701 pull type? Not well versed in Deere combines, so I'm not sure if they ran 1000 RPM PTOs on them.

Go down to the test forum on this site and make
about 10 post. It will then allow you to post pictures.
The potty filter thinks you are a spammer trying to
post a picture on your first post.

Looks like an adapter bushing of some sort with those keyways on the od. Could it have been used to maybe install a belt pulley on a pto or something like that?

How did the side mount mowers run off the pto ?

Are you near Rowley, I grew up 10 miles North of there?

Wonder if it's a splined coupler for the row unit shaft drives on an adjustable
corn head....

That is no longer a thing they got rid of it long ago
