Hugh, I have only seen one 404, my dad had a Farmall version after I left the farm, he retired shortly thereafter, I never drove it, thus cannot prove my statement. One of Robert Pripps books states: "The first 404's had ground driven (only operated with the clutch engaged) PTO's-a live PTO was not an option. Bitter complaints from dealers that sales were going to the competition because of this so-called cost saver finally reached IH management. IH engineers designed and fitted a live PTO for production in about 1964 (pretty arbritary-my words). The 404 was built in model years 1961 through 1967."
