Yes I did. He said he would look into it for me. I bought it from etractorimplements.com. It said on the website it comes with a 32" PTO. The one I received was a 39".
I got the feeling from talking with this salesman, that he was just a salesman and didn't really know much about tractors. I could be wrong.

Now that you guys helped me with the series PTO I should be using with my tractor,
I have another question. I am hoping someone can help me with. How can I tell what series the PTO is that was sent to me with the wood chipper.
Because they did not know what size tractor I was going to use.

I was mostly talking about the sales literature / description if you were buying a new one. It would be nice if they stamp that info on the shaft but they don't. If you can't get a hold of someone at Victory that knows, the little book taped to the shaft may give you some info to help you figure it out. According to the booklet that came with mine, a series 4 would have a 27 mm cap on the u-joint cross and measure 74.6 mm cap to cap (Note a series 3 also has a 27mm cap but is only 70 mm Wide).

Also when your figuring out how long a shaft you need, make sure the tractors' pto output and chippers pto input are at the same height when you measure the distance. If you can't get the shaft on with the chipper at the same level as the tractor, it's not short enough.
