To try to explain think of it this way. Your Ford
640 has TRANSMISSION PTO. When you are
traveling in any gear with the PTO working and
push in the clutch both the transmission (
tractor movement ) and the PTO stop working
at the same time. You have one clutch that
controls both.
With LIVE PTO when you are traveling in gear
with the PTO working you can stop the tractor
movement while the PTO continues to work.
Commonly this is with a 2 stage clutch ( Ford
660, 860, etc. ) To stop tractor movement the
clutch is pushed down 1/2 way to also stop
the PTO you push the clutch all the way down.
On some other tractor brands there were hand
clutchs for PTO. With this type of PTO the
tractor movement had to stop before the PTO
would stop.
There also are INDEPENDENT PTO where
the foot clutch only controls the tractor
movement and a seperate clutch system
controls the PTO. With this type of PTO tractor
movement and PTO operation were
independent of each other.

P.S. I have a Ford 640 also, they are good
tractors. 6XX = 132 cubic inch engine, X4X =
four speed transmission with transmission
PTO, XX0 = made / sold 65 - 67.
