New mower has label pointing the end with the shear bolt toward the tractor. There are two issues with this:'

1) The shear bolt is on a 1.5"+ protrusion off to the side of the Ujoint and nearly hits the top link bracket attached to the rock shaft.

2) This would cause water to run into the PTO shaft because the open end of the sheath would be pointed upward.

I intend to mount it in the other direction because there is plenty of room for the shear bolt protrusion on the implement, and I want the sheath pointed downward to preclude water intrusion. I also may install my new slip clutch on the implement if the geometry/length works. There's no way the slip clutch would clear the rockshaft attached top link bracket.

Issues?
