It was an old International 404 made in the early 60's I think. What is so bad, is it has a life PTO, which means that you can't stop the pto with the clutch. If the PTO is turning, you can't stop the tractor either, with the clutch or brake. If you could jerk it out of gear is the only way to stop it, til the pto stops. That is what pushed me over the hill. The blades were turning, and pulled the tractor even when I stomped on the brakes.

I may do some work with it next week. Got to get back on her. But I am hurting very bad down in my hip, man it just wont' quit. And these Loritabs wont' touch the pain either. Not to mention my job requires me going up and down ladders for 10 hours a day, 10 and 12 foot ladders. But such is life. Got to do what I have to do right now. Wife is back out of work, and things are BAD. Have thought of going back to my old money-making ways. Fortunately I have decided not to, but it was bad to even think of such.

Thanx, Crazy
