I would disagree with 2 things, but a good explination. Live has always been decribed to me as having a second clutch. Basically the live 2-stage clutch in a Ford x6x series tractor. I have never heard of a live pto as having only one clutch - ever. It would still then not be free-wheeling. Then I have not heard of a 2-stage clutch as being 'independent' at all. It is just live, not independent? To me, independent has always meant totally & completely independent of the foot pedal & clutch. Independent can be made to spin or stop at any time, no matter what you are doing with the tranny clutch. My H has a dependent pto - it always spins at the same rpm, but is not live or independent. The Ford 960 & 1720 have a live clutch - 2-stage clutch within a clutch, you can shift gears in the tranny with the pto still powered. You do need to stop moving forward to put the pto in gear. The IH 300 & s77 Oliver are independent - they have a lever that controls the pto clutch all by itself - totally independent of whatever I am doing with the tranny & foot clutch. The Ford 7700 & TW-20 have independent hyd clutches - work as the previous, but the lever uses hydraulics to move the pto clutch. Many of us do not like the hydraulic clutches. They mostly all have a hydraulic brake. They mostly all are 'instant on' or 'instant off' and can be very, very hard on certain pto equipment - no feathering. This depends on what you do & what you are used to. But some of these can really slam flywheel equipment hard, or twist the pto shaft/ strip gears on a grain auger for example. --->Paul

In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
