installing a rear pto?
 

Hi all
On the hunt for a rear pto for my cub original. Seen some at a few junkyards. My question is will any pto work for my original? Wide frame, narrow farm, ih farmall cubs? To my knowledge they are all universal correct? Also I just need the shaft and the diff plate along with the actual pto shaft with the release bearing itself and the engaging lever?

The rear pto shaft is unique only to the cub original.

The original, Narrow and wide frame gear models could take a 515RPM rear PTO that spun the Opposite direction, as PTO's today. They were not really good for anything, and IH Never Made attachments to be run off the rear PTO On the IH Cub Cadet Garden tractors. The Marketing at the time was that it could run a grain elevator. It would be cool to Have it, But it's Kind of useless
Attachment to have.

I just really want it as a novelty item, trying to make my original with all the options from factory

Is there a claimed horsepower for one?

IH Never Put Out the claimed HP spec for the rear PTO Just 515 RPM PTO speed
BTW the Original 10 tests Models Never Had a Rear PTO On them
.
The test Model shown In the front of the Unofficial Cub Cadet Book(By Oscar H well) spent it whole Life in Elk Grove, Village, Illinois The first time I saw it, it was In Parts as the Owner of It was the IH Cub Cadet test engineer David Stevenson (My neighbor where I grew Up). He had left it as His In-laws acreage and the renters kids had taken it apart . He got it Back together and Gave it to Harold Schramm who was the head of the department that 1st Built Cub Cadet. Harold had it restored Both David and Harold have since Passed-on:ThumbsUp:

Cub dude, I have a narrow frame trans pod I bought for parts years ago for the pto, the trans looked like it had taken in water and froze in the gear case, but the pto looked to be ok. If interested drop me an email, I'll dig it out and take a look at it.

Has anyone found a good use for the rear PTO, even it's custom? I saw a few vids on YouTube of a guy churning ice cream with one, and another grinding corn. I think both were the same guy with a 104.

They were good for running small flat belt equipment when equipped with a 90 degree angle flat belt pully off a low boy, they bolted right up to the pto mount.

They also ran small (up to 48" type) mowers and tillers with a hub city reverser,
and a three point kit, expensive set up at the time. Some guys came up with their own equipment ideas and used that pto:
