Hi folks. Got a question regarding over run clutches and there is bound to be someone out there who can help? I fitted one last year to use with a rotary grass topper, having read on this site that it was necessary for safety. My PTO brake doesn't work - to repair means splitting the tractor and I thought I'd leave that until something else needs doing on the back end. Consequently, with the PTO disengaged, the shaft still turns although it's not being driven. Cant use a cover because it sticks out too far and is a larger dia. than the Shaft cover. Anyway, the long and the short of it is I caught my pants (trouser) leg on it last week which could have been nasty! My question is if you are using a topper/mower/bush hog etc. which rotates in a horizantal plane, without an overrun, how can this push the tractor forward? I could understand it with something rotating in a vertical plane which could act like another driving wheel, but not horizantal. Is there anybody out there who could explain it please?

After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
