What is the slot & lip on the rear of the PTO shield used for? I've ask a couple of old timers locally, but they said they never seen anything bolted to the pto shield. ken

i can remember using a "field-force" sprayer on pops farm and the pump for the sprayer came with a short bar that had a chain attached to it that would fit the slot and the lip held it on there while the pto was engaged and the pump was in use..it would hold the pump from turning around when the pto was rotating thus making it pump. this was back in the 50`s.

The old timers you asked must not be that old as I am 60 and my dad had equipment with the PTO shields that connected to the tractor shield. The implement shield was the first to go and then the tractor shield was next. When I bought the Super H a my folk's farm sale I found the tractor shield in the shop under the bench. I think the modern telescoping PTO shields have saved more lives than any invention I know. My Father-in-law always told the story about his hired man who stepped over the running PTO shaft and caught his overalls on the running shaft. Fortunately, they were old and worn out and he was instantly standing in his underwear. Roger

Pre mid 1950s implement PTO shafts did not have the telescoping round free spinning shield/cover that is the standard today but had a telescoping sheet metal shield shaped like a upside down "U" that connected from the implement to the PTO shield on the back of the tractor usually with a spring loaded butterfly type nut.
The problem was that the sheet metal would become bent and damaged and would no longer telescope and most farmers disconnected and tossed the shield in the corner of the shed. The end result was a very dangerous unprotected PTO shaft and a lot of injuries and deaths occurred.
A few years ago I noticed the one belonging to our old #45 baler laying in the corner of the machine shed.

Older pto equipment (such as silage cutters) had a sheet metal shield that was on top of the drive line and it anchored on the tractor pto shield. The new style made from tubing is a lot better.

That is for a pto sheild. Like on my 25v sickle mower you lock that in place. kind of hard to explain. If I had a picture it would be easier.

The slot is where the old time pto shield from an implement like an IH 45 baler would hook to the pto shield on the tractor. The pto shield on the implement had a bolt with a heavy spring that slid into the slot.
