An over running clutch connects on the PTO shaft of the tractor, and then the brush hog shaft connects to that. If you don't have live PTO, when you push in the clutch to stop, the brush hog has so much inertia that it will keep the tractor moving forward - like into a fence, barn, or over the side of the mountain, or worse yet, over a person or pet. (pick your own catastrophe) The over running clutch is a roller clutch that drives in one direction, and free wheels when the brush hog tried to spin faster that the shaft driving it, allowing you to stop as normal. If you happen to have live PTO, I don't think the clutch is necessary, as you are able to stop like normal. They can be had at most Tracor Supply stores, or call up a tractor or impliment dealer and they could tell you where to get one in your area. It's a must-have item on a brush hog without live PTO. Hope this helps. Good luck. Mike
