F-12/14 Owners....PTO shield

Seth Boyer · Aug 7, 2011

I've noticed that since starting to restore my F-12 that in all the tractors I've seen in person, online, or in any of my books none of them have a PTO shield. I'm just curious if any of you guys have them on your tractors or know of anyone that does.
The one on my tractor seems to be in perfect condition. Exciting to me to have another 'odd' item on this tractor.

If you in any of the 12 series (F-12, W-12, O-12 etc) you will not find a pto shield listed. There are parts listed in the pto fittings to attach various IH pto driven machines to the 12 series tractors some look like the shield shown except that there is often a small sheet steel bracket coming down from the top two bolts on the cover plate above the pto. I do not have a pulled machine (combine harvester) parts list handy.

the ones on our relics are just the center reinforced part of your shield. they look like a step with a notch. A lot of the matching equipment in fence rows have non integral shielding on the pto shaft. The shield is basically a piece of sliding rain gutter. The tractor end spring snaps into the notch in the little L bracket. The shields were usually thrown aside for better access and I don't know that they were originally supplied...
