Bill, thanks for posting the '72 catalogue. Behind the 503 in my '54 GMC, I tried to figure out the correct PTO, never could find the right one, while wasting time on Ebay one night, saw an idler gear for PTO's, wondered if it would work, bought one, tried it out, worked, what luck, now my crane works.
