After completing it, I realized a few things. I used an Electric Car Motor
from an Old Conversion ( not a Warp9), that had the Pressure Plate on it
and I was able to put the tractor clutch inside, but do not have the clutch
peddle working. I thought I would not need a clutch, but the problem is,
The Flywheel is so heavy and the gearing on the tractor so low, that it
takes half a minute for the flywheel to slow down and even with standing on
the brakes, the tractor still creeps along. So keeping a working clutch, I
believe, might be important.
Are you sure your momentum problem is coming from the flywheel? My
experience is that big low pressure rear tires eat momentum pretty
fast. I have had some "tractor keeps going" problems when a high
momentum implement, such as a shredder, is attached to a PTO that is not
"live". That is, one that is always attached to the rear wheels. I
found this not particularly illuminating:

But, I agree I need to more closely examine my inclination to not have a
clutch.
Are you operating your tractor at around 2000 rpm?
Some of the Logicsystem Controllers seem to work OK, especially the first
generation. I still have one on my Dixie Chopper. Of course, not running
them at their rated Peak Voltage seems to help.
I THINK I have an old Russco that may serve. I'm trying to locate it.
