My '48 had a power takeoff knob and cable in the cab when I bought it but the PTO itself had been removed. The driver's side running board has a 17" cutout.

It was originally an eastern Montana truck so what were the common uses of a PTO back in the old days?

Did they attach a water pump to fill a stock watering tank? Other?
