[QUOTE="Earl Thigpen, post: 270201, member: 3999"] From what I've read everyone is right - it depends. I think the key word (at least for a Ford tractor) is "LIVE PTO" which means the PTO output shaft is connected to the engine before the clutch for the transmission. Even if you have an older tractor without "live PTO" you can get an over running clutch from any number of places including Tractor Supply which will allow the blades to keep spinning without trying to drive the tractor. They are relatively inexpensive and connect between the PTO shaft and the mower. No modifcations are necessary to either the tractor or the mower provided the mower shaft is short enough to add about 6" to the length. [/QUOTE]
