Abstract: An improved power take-off lever arrangement for a tractor is disclosed which prevents the inadvertent shifting of the PTO lever from a first to a second position. The lever arrangement includes a support plate secured to the tractor and has a pin extending outward therefrom which engages an oval aperture formed in a manually operated lever. The lever is connected to a control valve for hydraulically engaging a power take-off drive. The control valve is responsive to move to a second position with corresponding movement of the lever and is spring biased to move to a first position with corresponding movement of the lever when the hydraulic pressure falls below a predetermined value. The lever is also spring biased to the first position such that an attachment mechanism formed on both the lever and the pin engages.

Abstract: A blower assembly includes an electric ventilated motor having a through output shaft with a blower wheel attached at each end. The motor, encircled by a pair of rubber O-rings with the blower wheels attached, is inserted in a blower housing assembly which is split along a horizontal line parallel to the motor output shaft which divides the housing assembly into an upper and lower housing. The housing assembly contains a central cavity for enclosing the motor and a cavity to either side of the central cavity for enclosing the blower wheels. The motor proximate and distal walls of the blower wheel cavities contain inlets to allow air to be drawn in by the blower wheels and the blower wheel cavities in the lower housing contain air outlets for the air to be blown out. The lower housing further contains air passages from the air outlets, to one end of the motor cavity to provide pressurized air to the motor.
