I used to have a picture of nothing but the exhaust stack of a tractor sticking out of our pond. Guy down the road ran off the dam.

Care to elaborate? Want to learn something new.Been many a Farmall pushed into a pond by a bush hog with no overrun coupler.
Old tractors had the pto ran directly through the transmission. Pushing the clutch would kill pto power. If you were running something like a bush hog, and needed to stop the tractor, you would push in the clutch but the tractor would continue until the bush hog stopped rotating. No matter how much you stood on the brake it would be several feet until you came to a stop.Care to elaborate? Want to learn something new.
Brought back memories of a previous life nearly taking out a few strands of barbed wire fencing. Good thing it's got a little stretch.Old tractors had the pto ran directly through the transmission.

Over riding couplings would fix this. The coupling slipped over the tractor pto shaft and the driveshaft would mate to the coupling. It was basically a one way ratchet. Allowed the tractor to drive the implement, but would disengage when the implement momentum wanted to push the tractor.
Insert - thats worth more than a 4runner due to lumber prices joke.
The crazy thing is, that's maybe or maybe not true.Insert - thats worth more than a 4runner due to lumber prices joke.
