Fleet Picture

[esbbent]

I have been wanting to take a picture of all my GT's for a while now. I have spent the last 3 weeks getting them all running, some of them had not ran for 2-3 years. I am missing one MF14 from the picture. The MF14 did not want to run and is in the garage, hoping a new set of points and condensor will fix the no spark issue.

Very nice...
The 4th from the left..what's mounted on front...?

That is a 540 PTO attachment. Used on farms to run a hay elevator or auger.

So I am staring at it and still can't identify it. Or its purpose.

Have you used it for any purpose .
Definitely used for a stationary equipment. My wood chipper comes to mind..

There is a 540 PTO spine under the cover it is difficult to see. Back in the day some farms used a hay elevator to move small bales from the ground to the top of the barn. Instead of using a full size farm tractor to run the hay elevator you could hook up the PTO to a garden tractor. I found this on the web to help.

I can see where you hooked the shaft from it to something else.

I have four MF tractors. 7,12,14 and 16. Those 540 pto’ are rare. In my parts anyway. I know of one in NS. My MF12 had electric lift. But the lift part was missing when I got the tractor. The switch was still in the dash thou. So I use that to operate the winch which lifts and lowers the loader.

Nice fleet you have there esbbent.
