I have a Long of that type, different size. The pto system works as stated. The pto lever on the transmission case puts the system in either ground speed, in which it works like an older tractor with no live pto, or in independent mode. One advantage for the ground speed mode is that when the tractor is in reverse the pto will run backwards. Good for clearing a plug in a square baler, for example. This lever is best engaged with the motor off and the independent pto lever disengaged. For regular independent pto operation, which is 99% of the time, raise independent lever and engage lever on transmission case to the independent position. Lowering the independent lever engages the pto then regardless of motion of tractor.
The tractor does have a 2 faced clutch, not unlike the MF 35 system from the 1950s and many others. In that system, the foot clutch pedal stopped the forward motion of the tractor at the half way point of travel and by pushing the pedal the rest of the way down(with effort, at least no the ones I have sat on, never owned one) disengages the pto. On the Long and some other tractors, The separate lever disengages the pto and the foot clutch stops the motion of the tractor. It is important to leave the independent lever down and engaged as much as possible to prevent undue wear on the throwout bearing. If you wish to disengage the implement when turning around, that is fine, but if you are , for example, going to a field on the other side of a highway the pto should be disengaged so that the independent lever can be put in the down position. I have owned a tractor with real independent pto(an Oliver) and there are some differences, but for all practical purposes the Long has independent pto.
