You asked about two specific items when I think you were asking about lots of things, so here goes on one or two others. Live hydraulics refers to hydraulic power available any time the engine is running. It is usually available at the remotes, which are the hydraulic quick couplers at the back of the tractor. Second item, PTO (Power Take Off). This is most commonly a shaft at the back of the tractor which when engaged turns clockwise when you look at it from behind the tractor. Old smaller tractors often had a 1 1/8" diameter shaft. Most newer tractors up to close to 100 HP (if I'm wrong, somebody please give a correction) and bigger older tractors have a 1 3/8" shaft. These (both sizes) turn 540 revolutions per minute at rated or designed to be used speed, and are 6 splines. Big tractors use 1 3/8", 21 spline shafts which turn 1000 RPM. OK, somebody else's turn, explain some more things.
