[AT] Fun with mowing

[Bruce Fallon]

What are you talking about?  See where it says I bought mine for about $70? 
I have an overrunning clutch on mine.

What I was saying if you don't have one, you have to bump it out of gear to 
stop.

Bruce you are taking your life and anyone near you into the hands of tht
out of control tractor, If I was you I would stop using it with the Brush
hog immediately before you ar someone gets seriously  hurt.
