I do know about the PTO ring. Also you could have a "retarder" installed there if you ordered it that way. Or you could rebuild it and install either the PTO ring or retarder. I would go with the PTO ring myself. I have a couple of transmissions I'm looking at right now. Both already have PTO's installed. I just need that flex plate.Hope you work this out Rusty. The 545 is a well regarded transmission but a 5-6 speed would be really nice. Good luck.
Don't forget to get one with the PTO ring if you want a tranny mounted PTO. From what I can tell, the PTO gear is optional on the 545 while all of the 1545 have them. The same PTO as the 939 series fits but it has to be a direct mount pump, no room for driveshaft. Kits for the flange mount do fit the PTO (from the 939 series) and many different pump input shafts can be accommodated. I have a surplus one with a 1"-15 spline (going to smaller pressure comp pump on mine).
