TO-20 PTO Shaft Size/Change to larger size

[Wayne Wiseman]

I've got a 1950 TO-20 Ferguson with small PTO shaft. Can I purchase a sleeve that slides over the small shaft and make it the larger size so I can use a belt pulley off a Ford 3000?
If so, where can I purchase.
Thanks

The last one I saw was on ebay and it did exactly what you said, it slid over the 1-1/8 shaft and turned it into a 1-3/8 shaft. To the best of my knowledge there hasn't been many like that. I thought it was a rather nice way to make it. Of course that was maybe 6 months ago.

I bought a sleeve at TSC that changes the PTO size

At some point in time u will most likely want an overrun clutch for the PTO. VERY ADVISAEABLE for Bushhogging. Maybe find such a clutch to fit the 1-1/8 tractor shaft but ccepts a 1-3/8 implement drive shaft.

Agri Supply sells that. You probably can find them via search engine. They have a mail order business as well as a few stores.

Your best bet it to get the larger tractor PTO shaft and install it. The wife was working the fergy when the adapter broke. The front 1/2 of the PTO drive shft came loose and went sailing past her head and missed her by maybe a foot at best. No more adapters for me. Another reason that new adapters are hard to find. The rumor of pending lawsuits might be believable.

There are several types of adapters that cobvert the old 1 1/8 " shaft to a 1 3/8" shaft. The better ones are machined and are epinned in place. i use one on my TO-30 but I have a new 1 3/8" shaft waiting in the wings to replace the small shaft with.

tried several different styles of sleeves for the pto.bush hogging cracked everyone of them.they worked well for my 3pt fertilizer spreader though.

Got an old Fergie, it came with an adaptor that bolted to pto housing, has a bearing built right in. No wobbly adaptors and looks like a factory pto. Dad drove a baler with it for years.
