I am a happy man. I picked up a 14" x 30 something sidney lathe for $500 bucks. It needs some clean-up and I will need to invest in a phase converter before I can start making chips. But of course my mind is already racing ahead to the "fun stuff"; the projects. Now that I will be able to turn shafts etc., I am enjoying long day dreams about converting various wood chippers, pumps and sawmills from the junk-pile to run off the pto of the john deere instead of their non-working engines. But all my little fantasies come to a halt at the same point. I want to put some sort of inline clutch on my creations; so that I can shut the machine in question down without having to climb into the tractor cab. So far all I can come up with is using an automobile slip-differential with one brake drum in tact. Actuate the brake to make the other end go release it to make it stop. Does this sound doable? Does anyone know of a source for simple in-line clutches that are adaptable to various uses? Any ideas would be appreciated. That way I can get back to my spring fever induced fantasies......err I mean brain storming sessions while I wait for the snow to melt.
