Up until the Cockshutt 30 was on the drawing boards (and eventually produced), all Cockshutt's were Oliver clones (just painted a different color) .... and probably the belief then that Olivers had the feature too was a result. The Cockshutt 30 was a brand new tractor from the ground up and had no real design features in common with Olivers. A fellow Canadian by the name of Ivan MacRae actually coined the term "live" power takeoff in one of his correspondence letters with an engineer from Wisonsin Axle Company who were also involved with the design and probably the manufacture of the parts. MacRae was the head of the Canadian team that was given the responsibility of coming up with a design that snaked it's way through the transmission and differential to a separate rear PTO clutch, then out the back of the tractor to the PTO. Interesting post with a lot of good ideas given.
