Just leave it and focus your time on making an implement that can run off the reverse direction PTO.
This is like the chicken or the egg question, implements or the way to use them.
What I had in mind for this box was that it would have the same outside look as the rear cover plate, just like it just thicker. With a pulley out the side and a 540 type shaft coming ou the rear.
I wanted to make a three point sickle mower to use.
I don't like the box that I have seen with the pulley on the side, it seems added on.
I know it's silly cause there is easier ways to do this but I have a vision..
