That reminds me of an experience I had at the Oliver dealer many years ago. Olivers like the 1950 could be fitted with not only the 540 and 1000 pto,but also an engine speed pto. I thought the engine speed pto would be ideal to run a standby generator that formerly had an engine to drive it. I headed to the parts counter and indicated to the partsman what I wanted. He gave me a bit of a crossways look and demanded to know why I wanted that setup. I explaned that it would be ideal th run this 1800 rpm generator at less than the tractors 2400 rpm engine speed which should be easier on the tractor at that light load. The partsman relaxed and explaned that another guy had bought the engine speed pto kit thinking this was what he needed for a 1000 rpm pto on his new forage chopper. Almost 2-1/2 times 1000 rpm and rotating backwards did nasty stuff to his new chopper :)
