3025E PTO overrunning clutch?

For past 3 winters I have used 64" snow blower with no issues. I just purchased a 5' Brush hog (shear pin) mower and If I (understand / read in past) it is a good idea to install a one way clutch/one-way bearing PTO adaptor? Here is the question- tractor shut off and nothing connected I cant turn PTO by hand even with pliers! I called my JD dealer and mechanic says there is no clutch in transmition and its just an electric engagement for PTO. If that is true why does any implement I have attached shut down immediately when switch is disengaged?
2nd question- I bought a PTO over run adaptor from TS, I installed it but it doesn't lock on output of PTO( it locks on PTO shaft from mower end) , it can slide off? I didn't feel comfortable running it knowing shat from mower can slide off at tractor PTO. Is that correct or am I doing something incorrect?

I personally don't like/utilize an ORC on tractors with live/independent pto's. When operating implement that exerts flywheel momentum I just idle engine to allow engine to cool down then turn off the ""slower turning pto"". Adding ORC could also cause pto shaft need to be shortened & adding length of ORC to tractor shaft changes the geometry of the implement pto shaft.
