MF202 Hydraulics question

I've had my MF202 for almost a year now. Haven't really used it that much since I have an 8N that is my mowing tractor.

Anyway, when I went out and started it today, I had left the quadrant handle up and the back blade came up. The thing is that I had the PTO in the off position and it was not spinning. But the hydraulics worked anyway.

I know the PTO has to be on for my 8N hydraulics to work so this surprised me. Is it normal for the hydraulics to work without the PTO turning on the MF202? I never noticed this before.

The MF202 is the industrial version of the MF35 with the Z134 gas engine. I think it's about a 1958 model. No ID tag on the tractor so I can't be positive. I got the year from the engine tag.
 
The pto shaft comes out of the transmission, and is coupled to the hydraulic pump for the 3 point. The hydraulic pump has a output shaft which couples to the output pto shaft when you move the pto lever.

Thank you.

Thank you very much for the drawing. I kind of think I know but what exactly do they mean by ground speed on the PTO?
 
When you have the engine pto in neutral some tractors have a ground pto. You push the pto lever forward of neutral, and it enagages the gear that get power from the rearend of the tractor (ground pto) instead of the engine. Look on your pto lever cover, if it has ground pto it will be forward, of the neutral position.

The only exception to this would be if you had a two stage clutch. I'm not even sure they had that option in a 202, it was more of a TO35 thing.

Nope, that's not right...........I need to wake up before posting. Move on, nothing to see here...
