Take a close look at the engine shot just above - the PTO shaft
is hanging out the bottom of the engine with nothing attached to
it.

In 1994 a fellow offerred a $1000 finders fee for information
leading to a flying example or even videotape or home movies
of one flying. As far as I know it has not been claimed.
