My 185 does not have the hydraulic PTO clutch. While at a salvage yard recently, I found that every 185 in the yard had a hydraulic PTO clutch. Is it possible to "bolt on" the control valve, lever, linkages, lines, and PTO clutch housing underneath the tractor?

Might not be worth the expense, but wondered if any of you guys have done this. Thanks!

Also need to change rear lift housing along with gear in torque tube housing. MACK

You only need the lift housing if you are changing for single speed to 2 speed PTO or vise versa. Otherwise all you need are the items you stated. The clutch has to match the PTO speed you have.
