    2 speed pto

    thanks for the input...I think I will sell the old girl...the L2501 has eclipsed her & it's worth alot to just use it for a generator.

    OK, 1st off the forum & orange tt has been very helpful with the big decision...I'm old but not rich & tractor buying is some serious $... after the dealer quote came through I went online and built the same thing...the basic tractor without all the implements & grapple...turns out the dealers...
