Happy Thanksgiving all, I have posted this question in other forums as well, and am seeking an opinion from someone "in the know". I will be purchasing one of two throwers (1690032) this Thanksgiving weekend for my 1975 Simplicity/Chalmers 7016H. Here is the question: One links to a front clutch (included in sale) and the other links to my existing cone clutch off the left hand side of the tractor. Which system is preferrable? I assume that the one operating off of a front clutch is easier to hook up and possible more powerful as a result of the shorter belt distance....but then again, that is a novice assumption. But it looks like I would have to remove the grill. Is this the case? However, the one operating off of my existing clutch might be easier to install since I do not have to do the added work of installing the front clutch. Are they a "horse apiece" or is one system clearly or overwhelmingly superior to the other? Is either tougher than the other on the engine? Will one have more throwing power than the other? Once I install the clutch, can I leave it on year round, or do I have to remove it each season? Any experiences? Opinions welcome. Tough decision for me. :) Thanks in advance,
Erik

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
