The older PTO's were lever shift only and had a shift rod protruding from them. If yours does then it cannot be adapted to a cable shift w/o a lot of work. More than it is worth frankly. Cable shift PTO's have an aluminum shift cover that bolts to the cast iron body and has a 3" lever attached to the center of the cover. A cable shift kit is available for that type only. They need the lever to give the cable enough force to engage/disengage the gear and that is why a rod shifter won't work.
