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?
Many thanks, Chris.
