All the bearings except one are widely available I think, it's the big mama that may not be. Worst case scenario, my local blacksmith buys one of the same size and then turns an outer race like the old outer race for it. These things are very hard for all I know, but so is he so I'm confident he'll know what to come up with.
Front PTO popularity is going ballistic around here, mostly for snow-blowers. When asked how come there are so few front PTO's that can handle more power my Sauter dealer told me "I have no idea, we keep telling them that customers are screaming for double capacity but they don't seem to have any answers".
This one has a flimsy rubber coupling on it, and a clutch that I wouldn't put on a Harley. I wouldn't trust it for more than about 200 ft-lbs of 1800 rpm torque. I'm really looking for at least twice if not thrice that and am holding back on a planned engine upgrade until I find and adapt one.
Addendum 2023-02-23
Got it cleaned up ready for 2 seals and 7 bearings and reassembly. The +/- 5" ID bearing serving the clutch cable/lever is not to be found but my blacksmith will make a new ring with the stubs and press-fit a common ball bearing of that size into it. All in all its not a bad (drum brake) design but it's too weak for my needs so I'll probably sell it as soon as I find a stronger one. Sauter make one that's good for 170hp (150 continuous if I read it right) but there's very little by way of drawings to see if I could adapt it.

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
