The other guys got it right on. Not only gives you a live PTO of sorts but also allows live hydraulics as well.

Not that I would recommend this now, but it allowed me to operate our old M before I was old enough to push in the foot clutch and shift gears. I could start and stop the tractor using the hand clutch.
