I need to put a clutch in line between an automatic transmission and a rear end in a tractor and truck pulling eliminator. When a tractor pulls me down the track, I want to stop the automatic transmission from running backwards. Is there an easy fix using something like a 12 volt electric clutch on the shaft like from a chopper head or a combine head or something from a junkyard? Thanks. [Reply]   [No Email]

If NOT, then mebbe a simple overrunning pto sprag clutch would woik? YMMV Void where prohibited by lawr But WAIT, for only 19.95 we will double yer order! Supplies are limited. [Reply]  [No Email]

Will just bolt to your auto or will have to change to a 4X4 auto and transfer case. Late models are electric. Early ones use a lever. just put it in Neutral. [Reply]  [No Email]

What's the best way to add a short (I don't have a lot of room) four wheel drive transfer case that I can shift into neutral. It's just that I don't want the extra weight and mass to bounce around on the end of my transmission. I only want to add a neutral. [Reply]  [No Email]

While you are welding a patch on put a 3/4 pipe plug in it so you can put a little oil back in. Not pretty but will work. [Reply]  [No Email]
