<font color=blue>Bob,
You're not thinking about overrunning clutches are you?</font color=blue>
Yep! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif That's exactly what I was thinking of! /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif
Whole different ballgame, eh?
What I'm asking now is, does a JD4300 have the type of clutch that protects the PTO powertrain? I think it must, as when I pick up a rock in my tiller, the tractor engine slowly dies, as opposed to *instantly* dying. I assume a clutch must be included in the drivetrain to allow this?
