Abstract
The invention is an improvement in a ground-travelling machine such as an agricultural spreader having a PTO shaft for connection to a power source. The improved machine includes a bracket for supporting a shaft in a utility position. The supported shaft is thereby spaced above the ground to help keep the shaft clean and protect from damage, is readily connected to a source of power such as a tractor PTO point. The supported shaft need not be disassembled for storage.
