Does anyone have a picture of this Live PTO attachment Zane's come up with? I searched the archives for a description, but it's still not very clear as to what has to be done to attach one. I really need one for brushhoggin', I have a lot of spots where I need to stop and back up with the cutter still turning. It would also be handy for diggin post holes, stopping the auger in the hole while slowing lifting it out.

As has been said by others, the Zane Thang and his Live Thang are not live PTO. If you are not worried about originality get the Live Thang for you're working tractor. You will wonder why you waited so long to get it.

As bg said. It is not live PTO. Zane has several products available. One is the "Zane Thang" which provides position control for 9N and 2N tractors. (They do not have factory position control.) Another is the "Live Thang" which provides live hydraulics. This allows your 3 pt lift to work with the clutch and/or PTO disengaged. It involves installing an external pump and some hyd. lines. Comes in a kit with instructions. Works great. Check out Zane's site for additional information.

This is a guess, and it is only a guess. Zane mentions that with his modification that the lift will function 'live' with the clutch in, and 'twice as fast' with the clutch out. He also asks about the generator mount, if it has been switched to an alternator, and if it is the low or the high serial number models. To infer a guess, I would think that his modification may be some kind of add on auxilary hydraulic pump that gets plumbed into the system.. thus 'twice' the flow with both pumps going. This is only a guess though, as the posts are intentionally vague .. probably to protect his idea.

It's not a live PTO. It's a live hydraulic system. Runs off a pulley and it's plumbed into your 8N pump base.
