Lisa,
A slip clutch and an overrun clutch are different things. The slip
clutch will "slip" if the implement binds up and protect (hopefully) the
drive system. An overrun clutch allows the implement to coast when the
input shaft (pto) is running slower than the driven shaft (mower). It has a
ratchet mechanism that allows force in one direction only. Your H would not
have that feature built in. Adding one would not affect the operation of
your sicklebar mower.
Overrun clutches are available at places like TSC.

Subject: [Farmall] overrun clutch question
Hey all-
I am not tractor savvy, so excuse if this is a really dumb question ;-)
#1 I just bought a used "Bush Hog Squeeler" pull type mower to run off my
1943 H. I've read recomendations to use an overrun clutch on the PTO when
running these kind of implements on old tractors. The Bush Hogs manual says
that it has slip clutch between the connector shaft and the drive housing.
Is this going to stop the implement from driving back down the PTO and
running my trans.? Or is it something totally different?
#2 how would I tell if my tractor already has a overrun clutch on it's PTO?
#3 I also got a JD #5 sickle mower -- if i need/get an overrun clutch for
the tractor will it effect operating the old sickle bar? ( I have manual
for that says it has a slip clutch to protect it's shaft to drive mechanism
blah blah blah)
#4 if I need to get an overrun clutch for the H- where's a good place to get
one?
I have old famah neighbors that babysit me and my learning curve with the
old H ;-) ....but they don't seem to know anything about this overrun clutch
stuff-- they didn't think it was anything to worry about? I haven't run
anything yet
