[Farmall] Couple more newbie questions

I'm assuming the mower you are speaking of is a single spindle type. Without 
an overunning clutch you aren't going to be able to stop the tractor in a 
reasonable amount of time/distance. The dealer dad retired from would not 
sell a bushog if the tractor didn't have an overunning clutch or live PTO. 
They had a couple customers over the years that bought front end parts and 
clean underwear from failure to use one.

As was stated in earlier posts, make sure the driveshaft is not pushed too 
far together when the clutch is installed in case you have to cross a ditch 
or something. This is typically more a problem on 3 point machines than 
trailer type mowers.
