Hello Brockwood,
The "N" models had a PTO that takes it drive from the side, where the rectangle cover plate is located, a shaft runs down the right side of the gearbox with a support bracket attatched to the rear axle tube with longer bolts.
This drive unit may have been similar to the later E 27 N hydraulic drive fitted with a different shaft.
The cap drive you mentioned may have been when extra drive was taken off for conversions like the full track Fordsons.
I have seen what appears to be a different ratio worm as it had a more lead angle, but don't know how common they are? If you create a seperate topic on worm ratios it may be a good Idea, and produce the results you ask for.
Hope this helps, Mike
