About 1974 or so, a guy was going to help us put up some hay, taking a share in exchange for contributing labor and equipment. Well, his equipment was an old CJ Jeep with a PTO on the back. We had a hay crimper, he thought he could run that with his Jeep. Problem was keeping the PTO running steady. With no govenor, you had to run at high RPMs with the foot throttle all the time. The gears were not spaced very close together, so one gear at full throttle (to keep the PTO at the required speed) would be way too slow, and the next gear at full throttle would be way too fast. Also, the PTO was pretty close to the ground, so it was always picking up hay and wrapping it around the shaft. So after about 30 minutes of that, we demoted the Jeep to pulling the hay rake, the only other job that we thought it might be able to do. Problem with that was a lack of sufficient ground clearance. It tore up more windrows that it made. So after about 30 minutes of that, we told him to take the Jeep home and never bring it back.
