Compact Tractor | Fitting Overrun Clutch DELEKS

After some issues with my driveshaft failing when using my cutter, I was told I needed an overrun clutch on my B1600D Kubota Compact Tractor. This would allow the tractor to stop and the cutter to "overrun" and not try to halt suddenly resulting in the sacrificial bolt snapping. Quite difficult to find in France but DELEKS came to the rescue.
BUT GET THE RIGHT ONE!!!

Every day is a learning day 😃 Glad you got it sorted.👍

Couldn't you have just put the original clutch you bought on the other end of the PTO shaft? Then it would have worked.

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

You have got me thinking now - I would have tried but something stopped it working, I can't remember.

@@HomesteadingUncontained 😁I can't remember much from a year ago, either! I am very much enjoying following your adventures; thank you for the effort you put into your videos. Best of luck to you both in your projects.

You had it in the wrong place it is suppose to go on your tractor PTO shaft then the first one would have worked no problems

I have never, in the past needed an overrun clutch. I have snapped a few 'shear bolts' as we called them on the farm in UK.....but I bought a box of shear bolts....and since then Sod's law has been in force and I have never lost a 'shear bolt' since. So......I recently bought a machine which in Polish is called a Rembak (nearest translation). it is probably illegal in the rest of Europe, because if you forget to let go of the piece of wood you can be pulled bodily into the machine.....and chopped into little pieces....which is what it does nicely with pieces of wood up to about 9cms (which is as thick as your mid forearm). So I bought this device (chipper chopper) and put it on my tractor...I have 3 tractors and have tried it on the larger two. 22 horsepower and 28 Hp.....it runs Ok on both of them, but exceed that 9cms and it stops instantly also stopping the tractor instantly...the shock loadings must be massive.......Now I'm sure that with a bigger/high horsepower tractor the machine would not stop and would cut the bigger/harder pieces.....but I bought an overrun clutch to save the tractor.....compared to your overrun clutch it is massively engineered with springs and all sorts on it.......again sods law came into force as soon as I started using it nothing ever stopped the tractor. (we got this machine because we were fed up felling trees and only using the trunks/big branches.....now we use everything, all the smaller branches are used for kindling. We have no gas etc so we heat by wood coal. In 12 years we have felled 3 large trees, but planted over a hundred new hardwoods to replace them. (for the greenies).

I was just getting fed up with snapping them every time I would stop. The overrun is sometimes built in to the tractor but my old kubota does not have that - it works perfectly now though.

Thanks for that really interesting video .
I am wondering something , about your 1st model , was it not possible to fix in directedly on the tractor , just before the gimbal

[@HomesteadingUncontained]

The clutch unit can only fit in one direction (male/female connections) and I only need this on my cutter so having it on my tractor would get in the way of my box or pallet forks….. is that what you meant? 👍

[@muwat8829]

@@HomesteadingUncontained I would say if this system was put at the extremity of the drive shaft whish is fixed on the tractor the rotation is the invert obviously you have to unplug this system from the tractor for other equipment .
I have for my KUBOTA tractor a grass cutter where the blade is free turning when you stop or slowdown , it avoid the kind of damage .

In the States we attach the overrun clutch to the tractor’s PTO on old models. That way it works with all your implants. All said, nice tractor. There are a lot of cool models out there Uncle Sam wouldn’t let in. There is some models that the PTO turns left. Have to watch out depending on countries.
