PTO direction

[expedoman55]

Ok so at the risk of showing my complete stupidity.. and lack of experience and without going to the barn and looking at the tractor what direction does the PTO turn when I face the back of tractor? Do any tractors have or use reversable PTOs? Sorry for dumb question as i am sure you guys are ROFL now..! Well I guess look at it this way.. I provided a little Friday night humor for ya'll! Ok now QUIT laughing! :confused2:

If you are looking at it from the rear It should turn clockwise

No problem, everybody begins somewhere I'm still learning new things everyday on these forums. It's better to ask than end up in the obituaries cause you didn't know.

Woah, talk about complicated, lol. I will stick with my clockwise pto's with the two speeds and two different splined shafts.
