Ford live PTO

[MNBeard]

What number tractor did Fords start coming with live PTO?

 

[RodinNS]

660/860

First one would have been the 1955 860, 660 ,760 or the 960. All have 2 stage clutches giving them live PTO

And even after they started making some models with live PTO they continued to make other models with non-live PTO as well, at least through the 1970s and I believe into the early 1980's.

Ya I have a friend who had a Ford 1700 that did not have live PTO

Did they make a 760? I thought all the 700s were 4 speeds.

Not 100% sure if there was a 760 or not I know there was the 761

I'm not even so sure on the 761. Tony Jacobs made a couple of posts about some 751 or 761s that were special made for a city (Detroit?) I thought they were the only ones.
Others here will weigh in.

Here are a couple of threads about them.

I'd say more but you brought up Tony and I do not agree with many things he says

Since you are so smart old you can take it with FORD TRACTOR ENGINEER that built them , but then again he probably would not waste his time with you .
