Glenn,
I know that certain 1200 and 1100 series MFs had two speed PTOs. Some had a lock out plate on the PTO shifter and some used a shift slot that was to short to go to the faster PTO speed. They had the double gear in the transmission but it wasn't approved by the ASAE for use in the US. By either removing the plate or putting a longer slot plate on the tractors they could have a faster speed PTO. I don't have the manuals for the 1500s and have never seen the inside of the rear housing to be able to tell if they have a two speed or not. If a guy had a really good dealer, partsman or shop manager he would be able to find out.
