Pre mid 1950s implement PTO shafts did not have the telescoping round free spinning shield/cover that is the standard today but had a telescoping sheet metal shield shaped like a upside down "U" that connected from the implement to the PTO shield on the back of the tractor usually with a spring loaded butterfly type nut.
The problem was that the sheet metal would become bent and damaged and would no longer telescope and most farmers disconnected and tossed the shield in the corner of the shed. The end result was a very dangerous unprotected PTO shaft and a lot of injuries and deaths occurred.
A few years ago I noticed the one belonging to our old #45 baler laying in the corner of the machine shed.
