Some of you may know I was able to snag a rear PTO assembly last year. I'm looking for the cast cap that goes over the PTO stub if anyone has an extra hanging around.

So this rear PTO is more involved than I realized, but to make it work I needed a "square top" carburetor. Now rumor has it that the one and only Dave Horvath from Wild and wonderful West Virginia has one or two spares. Sadly, Dave was a bit reluctant to part with one, and word on the streets of Maryland is that he has at least one on display on a walnut table. Well, he's from West Virginia, so that might make sense....

So, I bought a used square top off a member here, and at Dave's suggestion sent it to Dimitrios of Pascoreef Microrestoration to rebuild and calibrate it. (the local shop wouldn't touch it)

So now I know why Dave Horvath has one sitting on a walnut table! I'm almost afraid to scratch it putting it on my truck. He even powder coats the cast parts and provides a calibration sheet for it. Wow. Even the brass parts are polished.

I hope to put this on in a few weeks, I'm optimistic it will run as good as it looks.
