124 Rear PTO?
 

I just noticed in my 124 Operator's Manual that some 72's 104's and 124's had a rear PTO. I assume it was an option... has anyone had or even seen one of these, and what was it used for? I'm wondering if it could have been used with a tiller, instead of the long belt?

Nope.
It was an option but IH never sold anything to use with it.

This question gets asked all the time. Double07 is correct. I will also note.... the PTO turns the opposite direction as any "standard" PTO, so it's use is pretty limited. Yes, it had a function, but not with any CC implement. You could run a small auger or bale elevator/hiker with it. Or, you could do what some have done, and make your own attachments for it. Also, it came as an option on all of the gear drive models through the quietline tractors. Although, it seems that the Original, 122 and 124's were the most common tractors found with them. (That I do not know why.) After that a "new" rear PTO was only available on the hydro SGT's. It was MUCH different than the old version and PTO driven implements were available for it. Collectors like them. Since you asked if anyone has one, I will add that I do. :beerchug:

There's a couple of the hub city reversers on flea bay right now, wow you weren't kidding, looks like you can get an entire cub in excellent condition for the money that people want for them. Supply versus demand yet again.

Well, link 'em up for us!! :biggrin2:

Might put them in the "General Talk" section though..... they probably aren't a "deal". LOL!

Here is a reverser on CL, $450 and it looks like it has been hanging on the wall of a cow barn for 40 years.
Right next to the cows.

Has anyone ever seen any that were homemade?
They do not appear to be complicated units.

Wow, thanks for the info... That's interesting. At those prices I can see why it's more of a novelty.
