Hi, Folks. I've come late to this thread but I have to say that I reckon Nick's request is legitimate. The old spring loaded sliding pin is NOT the only PTO shaft lock on the market and one or two of the others are NOT the easiest to figure out. With regard to young operators, I started working on wheat farms when I was 15 1/2, driving tractors, ploughing , seeding, harrowing, crop-spraying, mowing, raking, baling, cart hay, harvesting, the works. Before that, I was operating a Cat 22 'dozer that my father had on the family dairy farm, unsupervised from age 12. My parents must have had a bit of confidence in my ability to handle it or I doubt I would have been allowed to do the work. Likewise, The farmer brothers that I worked for must have had some level of confidence in my ability to do the work or I doubt I would have lasted the 2 1/2 years that I was there or the next 2 1/2 years that I was in my next job where the farmer I was working for had a Cat D4 'dozer. I ended up doing ALL the work that that D4 did by the time I left that job to take up operating full time. One very helpful attribute in any kind of work but especially operating/driving is common sense. Another is the ability and willingness to think about what you are doing and the consequences of it. Living and working on farms tends to give some rather practical lessons about things like that. The people who learn those lesson that way seldom forget them. There aren't many better training grounds. Be gentle on those who have not had the benefit of that sort of training and help them where you can. You may HAVE the knowledge but you don't OWN it. It belongs to the Universe and the fortunate ones among us who have it ought to be sharing it with those less fortunate --- BEFORE they get into trouble if we can. You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Ford Part Number Trivia - by Forum Participants. "Replaced by" means the part was superseded. All of my part books date back to 1964 and New Holland have changed some part numbers. They usually put the old Ford part number on the package. I was suppressed when I looked up the part number of the auxiliary drive shaft because for some reason the part number went through a radical change and it lost its "Basic Part Number". Ford part numbers follow the following rules. Most part numbers are in three parts. The middle part is called the
