What is it ?

Looks like a pto guard? so 540 pto?

That my friend, is an L-29 540 RPM, front-mounted mechanical PTO that is belt driven off the front of the engine. It is used on farms to power grain augers/elevators and bale elevators mostly so that a full-size Ag tractor can be free to haul wagons from the field back to the the storage area. John Deere offered them too but their unit looks pretty silly compared to the Case. This attachment is no longer available and it only works on three-digit models.

I`ll add that they are worth at least $200, considerably more for that person who "just HAS to have one of everything" :grin:

That is the first time I have ever seen one of those.

I'd like that attachment if I could make it work to turn an AC generator head.

Just buy a generator and power it directly by making your own mule drive for it. Ask Bart how he did his.

I did see Barts design and I have thought about it to great length. I sold a brand new mule drive about 6 months ago and then realized I could have used it and modifed it to work for my future project. :facepalm: I willl keep looking for another one.

Nice set up. :thumbsup:

I would think that the genset would employ ball-bearing races. In my opinion, there would be no need for a separate thrust bearing but to be on the safe side, I would consult with the engineering department of the company that makes the genset.
