540 RPM with 1 3/8" is the most common on tractors, sure there are the bigger HP sizes too. At one time before standardization every manufacturer used their own size shaft, # of splines, PTO speed. Made attachments unique to only one barnd tractor. Not good for the equipment owner for resale or if wnating to borrow/lend an implement also made too many different parts etc.
I know my Cub LO Boy uses a wierd size shaft and speed too and turns wrong direction. Go figuire. I know 1000 RPM is used by some PTO driven generators.
Some of the speeds I can remember are 540, 720, 1000, 2000. and the shaft sizes and number of splines made it a headache. I'm glad for some type of standard.
