Hi - this is about my posting on adding hydraulics to the super 66 facory equipped with mechanical cultivator lift. I recently bought an original parts book and from what I can tell, the shaft you are telling me I'll have to cut off is the transmission input shaft that the PTO drive shaft goes inside of. Is the pinion gear that drives the mech. lift what is in the way of the hydraulic pump ? Is that where the cut will have to be made ? Will the cut be made at the snap ring by the bearing ? Please correct me if you see something wrong - I've worked on and around tractors all my life and am comfortable with projects like this, but I'm afraid I'm not too familiar with old Olivers ( but I am in love with them.). I've heard people talk about doing this, but their stories are vague. I would greatly appreciate anything you are willing to tell me.

Thanks,

Steve M.
