I'll have to go upstairs and correct those posts because I think you're right on both counts. EDIT: posts above corrected.
On the rope spooling, I guess I got mixed up looking at it, thinking which way the rope would exit the drum to engage the lower rollers. Looking at it some more, I guess...
Oh man, I didn't mean it that way. If you sell something, nobody can blame you for not posting up how the project finished!

Ok, so in order to have room to get the PTO into place, you have to remove one of the tranny cooling lines on top of the trans, one that's behind the PTO (which has to come out in order to add the cooling line going to the PTO, the exhaust pipe and heat shield, etc. So with all that out of the...
I have been planning on adding to this thread for a while and since I'm sick and sidelined on the couch, today is it.
