On a WD45. Have recently been prompted to get this tractor up and running again and I noticed this 3 groove pulley on the PTO shaft underneath  Looks like it would be a real challenge to install belts. Am wondering if this is related to a side mounted sickle mower that's here or is this for some other attachment? |

Interesting. Never seen anything like that before. Would make removing the p.t.o. shaft a bit of a challenge! |

There is a side mount sickle mower here that I believe was my dads but don’t ever remember powering that way. Was a shaft that ran forward to it. The under mount was similar This tractor has been here since I can remember. Possibly was owned by a late uncle then became my grandfather’s. Only thing I I’d seen mounted to it was a row cultivator. This one has power steering, narrow front, and Vinson manifold on it. Wheels have been repainted and cream colored wheels |

| Interesting. Did it use use all three belts or just one relative to position? Be neat to see that. There is an unstyled WC in the chicken house that has a remote hydraulic pump and reservoir to operate the loader. It runs off the belt pulley. |

Kosch used something similar 3 pulleys to match the different size pulleys on the mower to change speeds |

| The allis mower drove on an bbn offset shaft running of the back of the PTO. I have seen a couple loaders hyd pumps running off a pulley with a double belt and one with a chain like that they were fRmer dabbed. If you pull one bolt in the pto box end the shaft will slide back and you could put a belt on very easy |
