Tim,

My neighbor has a WD and the PTO has broken at least twice while bush hogging. I don't remember if the gear broke or the shaft itself, but I checked around and the WD is not known for a robust PTO setup. It's mounted on the outside of the tractor at the bottom of the transmission case. I think as long as you're just cutting grass, the machine will be OK but if you plan on cutting small trees and heavy bushes (like I do with my old Ford diesel), I'd be pretty careful. Probably should also install a slip clutch on the mower gearbox shaft too.
