We had two days of perfect weather at what I be-leave to be the perfect cat show. with of cause lots of nice cars for us men to look at , crafts ,flowers & things to interest the women & side show alley for the kids & kids at hart. There were lots of food stalls with all sorts of food from many countries . 126246126247126248 Dave was around the back of Madge trying it b work out how to light the stove for a cup of tea. Helps when you put the gas cans in correct. [bighmmm]

I saw this air compressor fitted to the PTO on the back of a Ferguson Tractor at the Black Smiths Shop, the guy was saying that he is 90% certain it is the same size spline as a LR PTO. He showed me it running . A nice safe implement to run on a PTO that isn't dangerous. These days my water pump display is starting to get too heavy for this old feller.[bighmmm]

Early Fergies had a 6 spline 1 1/8" shaft, later ones had a 6 spline 1 3/8" shaft. Not sure what the Land Rover had but I suspect it was the 1 3/8", which is now standard. There were adapters to go from 1 1/8" to 1 3/8", but these were quite weak and I would imagine would be hard to find now.

Cheers,
Mick.

The guy said he had been looking for years for one then found two in a week & has not found another since.[bighmmm]

Mine is an Autolux.
It does not have a splined socket.
It has one setscrew to engage the splines on the PTO. I guess they thought there was not much HP involved and that would be enough.

Jerry , I took my photo's early in the day Saturday before you arrived & once my daughter arrived with the twins went off with her & didn't get back to take more photo's. SORRY[tonguewink]

^^^^^ It took me two hours to get to Samford from Dayboro, I must have taken a wrong turn somewhere along the way :burnrubber:
