Hi all, quite some time since I posted, I am not sure if this is the right place to post this request and sorry if it is not in the correct place.
I live in Malaysia, I have a Ford 1210 tractor and I am looking for a "Mid PTO" unit, so I can use a under belly rotary grass cutter. If anyone has or if anyone knows the whereabouts of one, preferable a good one but will consider a broken unit I would dearly like to hear from you, and thank you in advance.

From what I have researched, the mid pto was only available for the hydro tranny 1210. Is yours?

You can start your search here:

TractorHouse: FORD 1210 Farm Equipment Dismantled Machines

I don't know if any of the vendors ship internationally. But, it is worth inquiring.

There are several in Pennsylvania that had a mower deck at one time. I don't know what parts one should be looking for in the photos to indicate the mid PTO you desire.

If the vendors don't ship internationally, perhaps someone locally could facilitate. I pass by Farmland Tractor in Tangent, Oregon from time to time, although it isn't particularly close to my house.

Hello, a big thank you to those who responded to my cry for help.
Halftrack you might quite well be correct, I only know that my machine is a 1210, cos that is what is stamped on the side. I have seen several pictures of gear change machines with the mid PTO and mower deck. CliffordK, I have sent a email to tractor house enquiring what they might, or might not have. We will wait and see. being an older machine, I am hoping that there will be a few laying around.

I think TractorHouse is like a Amazon, E-Bay, or Alibaba that has multiple small vendors advertising on their site, but no real stock of their own.

So, each ad lists the actual vendor of the machine.

My local place is called Farmland Tractor that puts their parts machines up on the website. However, I don't believe the description or photos are kept up to date.

Anyway, pick out the ads that look interesting and respond to those vendors.

My Ford 1210 has a front pto driven off the front crankshaft with an electric clutch to activate it. That is what powers the deck (which I don't have). The rear lift arms have cables that go thru rollers to raise and lower the deck, by using the 3 point lift lever.

Thanks Sandman2234 for reply and comments, any chance of a few pictures of the set up on the front crank connection. I have seen a u tube video of the cables connected from the 3pt hydraulics. The output speed of the underbelly PTO is 2000rpm when rear PTO is running at 540rpm.
