We had a 1950 John Deere "A" on our farm when I was just a kid. If I remember correctly, there was only one way to engage or disengage the PTO as it was not a "live pto". To engage the pto, you moved the "L" shape rod lever which was on the right side of the transmission console/box to engage the pto. The PTO shaft would not turn unless you had the transmission out of gear and clutch engaged or in gear and the clutch engaged. Either the seller was covering for an inop pto due to internal damage or he was just telling you the pto lever was not in the operational/engaged position. Move the lever to the opposite position and see if the pto is turning. Don't try to engage with the clutch engaged or you may damage the internal gears and make sure there are no people near a turning pto. If you have an operators manual, it has a good discussion of how the pto works. The 50/60/70 and newer John Deere tractors had an optional live pto feature with a pto clutch system that you could engage/disengage without the transmission in neutral and with the clutch in any position, basically on demand pto capability. Live PTO worked wonders with balers, combines, field choppers, brush cutters, etc.
