Buying Advice Beaver

[2nd Childhood Farm]

Gentlemen, and I use that term loosely for anyone who owns a tractor is a dirt lover at heart. I am in the process of buying a Satoh Beaver and have been looking at previous posts. One thing I picked up on was to watch out for reverse PTO. Anyone willing to provide words of advice? I know that the tractor I'm looking at is a 3 cyl diesel, has a 5 ft belly mower with turf tires and shows 459 HR. Down side is the front PTO is missing parts for the "electric clutch" so will have to find one.

If it is a 3 cylinder Beaver, that makes it a 373. All of those are standard rotation pto. Here are some parts sources:
