"implement end only" PTO slip clutch?

Re: \"implement end only\" PTO slip clutch?

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( It's a Weasler 560-6006 slip clutch. If I were to describe it, it has two plates with six sets (two each) of bolts (with springs) connecting the two plates, and a friction disk sandwiched in the middle. )</font>

Sorry. I was temporarily distracted by the photos that DirtHauler posted, and I only just now realized they have nothing to do with your original question. Friction-type slip clutches are meant to be used with the clutch component on the implement end.

Take a look at page five in THIS BROCHURE, where you'll find confirmation that it goes on the implement end.

I guess I will have to answer my own question... I believe the location of the friction type clutch at the implement is important in that it would also protect the drive shaft components and the tractor PTO. If you do not care about protecting the drive shaft and universal joint you could put a friction clutch on the tractor side of the PTO and only protect the tractor PTO. I was asking to try to find out things I did not know and figured it out after asking the question.
Just lazy I guess. I hope I am right and I hope this helps.
