I always thought the ORC was some internal device on the PTO shaft. I apparently have one and wanted to see if I was correct. My bush hog will not push the tractor forward when I push the clutch in, therefore I assumed that I had one. There is what I have always assumed to be an adapter on my PTO shaft to go from a 1 1/8 to 1 3/8. Am I mistaken and this is the ORC?

Ross..... The ORC is an externally installed device on the N-Tractors PTO shaft. It can also adapt between 1 1/8 & 1 3/8 PTO sizes. It is a one-way ratcheting device that you can check by hand (if you have the tractor turned off). Put tractor in gear, engage the PTO lever, and try twisting both ways, it should be fairly eazy in CCW and impossible in CW. If inpossible both ways, ya' just gots an adaptor. (an ya' been lucky)

The ORC is an absolute safety necessity to brushog. It prevents expensive tranny noises. It also prevents the brushogs rotory inertial energy from backdriving throught the PTO shaft into the tractors tranny and thus causing the tractor to continue to move foward when you clutch to slowdown for a barn corner, fencepost, irrigation ditch, creekbank, wifes car (don't ask). $60 cheep, get one..... ..Dell, the self-appointed ORC safety preacher

I recently installed an ORC on a new bush hog. I've never "bush-hogged" before, but I can't understand how anyone could operate that tractor/bush hog set up without an ORC. It would be very awkward and time consuming, not to mention unsafe in my opinion.

I should have added, sometimes incidents are very humorous when you look back. Where I have my 8N is at my recreational property where we only have a camping trailer. I was cleaning up the area with my rear blade when the blade accidently touched the outhouse, little did I know my wife was inside, she came immediately out madder then a wet hen. This is where the danger came in, I laughed so hard, I almost fell off the tractor. :^) Stan

Stan - If I had ever "touched" an outhouse with a tractor blade while my wife was in said outhouse - she'd never in a million years believe it was an accident. And you know what - she'd be right, too! C'mon, 'fess up.
