Nothing to do with the pto, early transmissions had a overrunning clutch system that allowed the tractor to freewheel in certain gears when headed down grade, the shifter had red lines on the gear indicator to warn the operator but a person not use to the tractor could experience a runaway condition.
Ford changed the design of the transmission using a direct drive clutch system in the 60's that provided holdback capability in all gears, they then issued a recall to replace to overrunning clutch transmissions but not everyone took their tractors back to the dealers to have the transmissions swapped.
