All the bearings except one are widely available I think, it's the big mama that may not be. Worst case scenario, my local blacksmith buys one of the same size and then turns an outer race like the old outer race for it. These things are very hard for all I know, but so is he so I'm confident he'll know what to come up with.
Front PTO popularity is going ballistic around here, mostly for snow-blowers. When asked how come there are so few front PTO's that can handle more power my Sauter dealer told me "I have no idea, we keep telling them that customers are screaming for double capacity but they don't seem to have any answers".
This one has a flimsy rubber coupling on it, and a clutch that I wouldn't put on a Harley. I wouldn't trust it for more than about 200 ft-lbs of 1800 rpm torque. I'm really looking for at least twice if not thrice that and am holding back on a planned engine upgrade until I find and adapt one.

Got it cleaned up ready for 2 seals and 7 bearings and reassembly. The +/- 5" ID bearing serving the clutch cable/lever is not to be found but my blacksmith will make a new ring with the stubs and press-fit a common ball bearing of that size into it. All in all its not a bad (drum brake) design but it's too weak for my needs so I'll probably sell it as soon as I find a stronger one. Sauter make one that's good for 170hp (150 continuous if I read it right) but there's very little by way of drawings to see if I could adapt it.

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
