The slip clutch is mounted at the implement end of the shaft. The tractor end is unchanged. I recently added a slip clutch to my Bush Hog rotary cutter.

The model I have has a smooth shaft on the gear box which was shorter than the clutch was designed for. I had to machine about 1/4" off of the female hub to allow the shaft and hub bolt holes line up plus drill out the hole in the mower shaft to accept a larger bolt. I mention this to warn that adding the slip clutch may not be a simple bolt up job as I had expected it to be.
