Whether you need the overrun clutch depends on the inertial forces created by the mower. The H PTO is driven through the transmission, and any torque applied to the PTO shaft will be transmitted back to the transmission, even though the clutch may be disengaged. You need an overrun clutch when using a brush-hog type mower on the H. These mowers have tremendous inertia, and will push the tractor right into a fence, road, pond, or wherever it's pointed, even though you have pushed in the clutch. I pull a six foot King Kutter rotary mower with my M, and the shaft spins for several minutes after I disengage the PTO. Finish mowers have multiple spindles and much lower spinning masses. I have a five foot Woods belly mower (belt driven, 3 spindles) on a 100, and have no problem with not using an overrun clutch on this setup.
