So you have experienced it!!

Gets your attention, that's for sure!

At least your Yanny probably had better brakes than an 8N

Here's a picture of one on the front end of an old Gravely rotary plow.

Just throwing this out there so don't shoot me. Is it possible that you have the ORC backwards?

Went to TSC today and picked up a roll pin. Got it installed. Everythings working like I expected it too. I can now switch gears while the blade is spinning, and hear a faint clicking as the clutch is doing its job.

I don't look forward to the day I have to knock the pin out.

Thanks for everyones insight.
