"Found another road ranger with the pto on it, 10-speed. This would be nice to keep the lift bed on my truck."

Please be aware that RR transmissions are twin countershaft and have high % of PTO v Engine speed. Some will run as high as 120-130%. When coupled to a shaft drive hydraulic pump this means trouble. Someone will sure as shootin' rev it up and throw out the pump driveline or smoke the pump. They work fine at idle and not much more. Newer PTO's are direct mount and the newer pumps are built for 2500-3000 rpm, not true on yesteryears iron though.
