My '48 had a PTO knob in the cab when I bought it and I quickly looked underneath. The workings weren't there. Dang. I was thinking of a big ice cream maker.

About 20 years ago I attended an estate auction. The deceased had gathered a big wooden box full of PTO's. The box was on a shipping pallet and would take a fork lift to load it in a truck. I had a firm commitment elsewhere and could not stay for the bidding on the PTO's. (I should have broken the commitment.) There was also a big wooden box full of old carbs. That one still really gets me.
