Does any one make a PTO cover that will go over an ORC? I use my Hydraulics more than my PTO and would like to see that thing shielded. If I can't buy one anyone have any suggestions on fabricating one?

I have the same concerns about getting caught in the PTO shaft. I am also concerned about running a mower without an overrun clutch. Hopefully I have stumbled on a solution. I found an overrun clutch on eBay that has a quick disconnect capability. Simply clicks on the shaft like a PTO coupling and then the mower clicks onto the clutch. When finished with the mowing, just pull of the clutch and reinstall the PTO cover. If this sounds like a good solution, let me know, and I'll send you the source for the clutch.

My 8n has the PTO adapter assembly. I have been told that it has been on the tractor since it was new. I know what the adapter is for but does it also work the same as an overriding cluch?
Or do I have to remove the adapter to use the overriding cluch?

I just built one this weekend and it should work out real well. It is strong enough to stand on and there is no chance of getting caught. I used a piece of 4" ID pipe 4" long. On one end I welded four tabs with holes located so that they will bolt in the four holes around the pto that hold the chain stays or if you have the added drawbar it is the four bolts that hold the drawbar bracket in place. on the other end of the 4" pipe I welded a large washer that fit inside and had a 2" hole in it. I then cut about 1/2" off of a 2" pipe coupling and welded that to the washer. The last step is to take a piece of 2" ID pipe that is threaded on one end and cut it 3" long. This will make the part that resembles the original cover. Weld a washer in the end opposite the threads and then a nut on the outside of the washer to use to tighten or remove it. I wanted to use the original cover but couldn't match the threads. I will post it if I can get my son to take a picture of it.

This might help some, but personally, I take mine off and screw the PTO cover over the PTO gear.

This shield might make you more aware of it and may make you more careful, but it only takes a loose shirt sleeve, a loose pantleg, a pony tail, etc. to get caught in that spinning gear and it's all over but the shouting.

I have to disagree with the "all over but the shouting" part. When my dad was a kid they farmed with an 8N. One time he was hooking up something to the 3ph & had the PTO on to lift the arms. . his pant leg got caught on the PTO shaft coming out of the tractor somehow.. .it started twisting around the PTO. and knocked him on the ground as it started to pull his leg. ..about that time the 8N stalled because of too much torque on the pants. .he got away lucky. If it had been any other tractor or had the 8N being anywhere over idle, I wouldn't be here & neither would he.

I haven't seen a cover that you describe. But, an idea would be to locate a steel or aluminum PTO cover, cut the end off, and weld on a small diameter tube of the same diameter or larger, and cap that now extended tube with another bead of material and flat round stock.

On the new endcap, weld on a decent size hex head nut that could be used to tighten that now extended cap with a wrench.

Grind and file if necessary for a decent joint, and you're good to go.

The difficulty will be "stepping up" from the existing cap diameter, to a tube larger than the ORC diameter. It can be done, but it will need to be firmly attached to the steel PTO cover. And, it will be a safe item, but interesting to look at.
