PTO installation 124/127
 

Hi everyone,
Liked my 124 so much I bought a 127 with a blade and wheel weights. Already paid for itself when I spread 8 yards of dirt in about 2 hours. No longer need to rent a bobcat for such tasks. Needs chains though. Anyone know where to get them for 12x23x10.50 new rubber?
Next question. I just bought nice PTO setup on ebay. Would like to install it on the Garden tractor (127) since I am using the 124 for mowing.
What is the difference between the rear axle gears between the 124 and the 127 hydro? Can this pto:

be installed on the 127?

I may be wrong, but I am pretty sure a rear PTO can only be installed on a manual shift tractor, not a hydro. Just out of curiosity, you actually have some rear pto implements? I hear they are far and few between. I am sure some of the other guys that know more about the PTO's will give some more insight.

Thanks for the reply dx3
No, no implements yet. Would like to find a tiller, brush hog, maybe box blade.
going to post some photos on the web soon. will attach links when I find the time. It's going to be one of those Mondays!

ya, the rear PTO will only work on gear driven tractors, not hydro... Starting with the 982 IH did something different with the rears to get a PTO to work, same concept on the SGTs. Also for implements, I personally think it would be a lot more work trying to get a PTO shaft driven tiller to work on a narrow frame vs. the factory belt driven from the front PTO tiller.
