Hi,Big Al,and Welcome to the "Bolt"! Sounds like your P.T.O. is mounted on the Driver's side of the transmission. Look on the opposite side,and see if there's a 6-bolt plate,matching the pattern of the P.T.O. If so,it's just a matter of replacing the P.T.O.gasket,and re-routing your lever,to the opposite side of your trans.cover.I'd think that your driveshaft should work,since the length should be the same. Just make sure to "Safety-Wire" the u-joints-otherwise they WILL come un-done. Found that out the hard way,when I replaced the P.T.O shaft,on a "Holmes" 440 wrecker unit! As far as BRAKES go, Please follow Paul's advice! A friend of mine replaced his M.C.,with a dual reservoir M.C.,and it DOES NOT BEGIN to stop his '59 Viking Bus! Better SAFE than SORRY! CHEAPER,TOO!!
