IH Electrall Generator on Ebay????

Found something interesting to me on ebay. It's a IH electrall generator. I have seen in books where they tryed this back in the 1950's but what I have seen i thought they mounted where the belt pully gear box went on M's, 400, 450's. This one if I am reading it correct said it runs off the pto. Item # 290508559530. Anyone seen anything like this one? I can't find it in any book on IH that I have.
 
I am not seeing alot of accuracy here. This forum is loaded with archived posts on the Electrall. Mostly written by me with plenty of photos.

The sidemount is driven off its own gearbox which meshes off the top of the IPTO driving gear. That is the sleeve and gear that plugs into the spring retainer on the main clutch. They will only fit SMTA, 400, 450. Nothing later, smaller, or bigger.

They were initially offered as sidemounts. When they didn't sell (some say only 103 sold), the inventory was converted into trailer units, PTO units, Fast Hitch units, and some were shipped to the Evansville (or some IH truck plant) for installation on truck PTOs. IH was desperate to unload them.

Sidemounts cannot be swapped with the other after-thought Electralls. All the PTO generators require their own step-up gearboxes.

The Electrall on eBay has been offered three times this fall. It appears to be in poor condition. I made a low ball offer but it was declined. I need two more to mount on my 400 which already has two.
