This may have turned into a hornets nest

Picked this rig up a week ago yesterday. All I want it to do is fill up some dirt. Bubba’d up the more I look. But here is bottom line with no more extras. This is a repower. Has anyone put an electric clutch on rather than mechanical?  
I would rather have mechanical but I think electric would be quicker and easier to get into service. 
Thanks for any input.

Not knowing what attachment you're intending to run makes it difficult to have an opinion. Mechanical clutches are plentiful and serviceable. The sudden start of an electric clutch is what turns most folks off. Soft starts are available but add $150 or so to a build.

Explaining what "this rig" actually is and some pictures would certainly help

An electric clutch for the PTO to drive a mower deck would be easy to do and depending on the engine use in the repower may also be the best.       

 :scared-eek:        If you are thinking of an electric clutch for the drive clutch for the tractor ; don't do it.

@jshks   always amazing to me ?  everyone wants  instant  speed , without any thought  of the  RELATED MOVEMENT EASE ?  from what  I  regularly see  in any, belt driven pto set up is  COLLECTIVE DRAG , screaming  clutch , frayed belts  , whyining  , rough  / noisy spindles , what could you possibly  improve ? rebuilt a lot of , conveyors , both vertical  and horizontal , bearing lubrication failure  was a constant , heat stress. extreme angularity  under loading , should always be followed by a  spring tension feed , to soften stress engagement . often say my pto to mule drive , moves by hand ? easily , also have  pto lever start set up  detailed in for function ?  never burned out a  pto clutch , guy up the road from me has electric pto , you know when , he hits it  , tractor  is total neglect .  @953 nut  hit it right , better off  doing a functional upgrade  to the deck  , bearing lube , change out  ,  added spindle belt  pulley ,  helps belt bounce . gold mine for collective problems , as stated , don,t do it   , pete
