I think it's broken, unless the PO cut it off with a dull hacksaw blade and cold chisel? It's rather jagged looking in person.
I'm little ashamed to say this out loud. I did not see the PTO was missing, and the shaft was broken, when it was at the estate sale.
I still would of bought the 782 anyways, for the price they were asking. I hardly looked it over at the estate sale, I saw the price tag of $250, and it had a running M18 in it, that didn't knock or smoke. I had to make a fast decision, and get the money out of my pocket, before someone else did.
Once I got it home and unloaded, I looked it over a bit better. I was a little bummed out, but not bad. I've seen non-running locked up 782s around me bring $350-500 at estate sales.
The dual spool valve in it has remnants of yellow paint on it, so it must be from a different tractor?
