Description

When you’re pulling heavy implements or working long days with your John Deere 40 or 50 series tractor, a slipping clutch isn’t just annoying—it’s costing you time and potentially damaging your transmission. When your clutch starts slipping or won’t release cleanly, half measures won’t cut it. This complete clutch kit includes everything needed for a comprehensive rebuild. This 5-paddle split torque system delivers the reliable power transfer these workhorses were built for.

What You’re Getting

The 330mm paddle design offers superior grip compared to standard disc clutches, especially important for high-torque applications
Cerametallic friction material that handles heat better and lasts longer than organic facings
Split torque diaphragm design that distributes clamping pressure evenly for smoother engagement
45 x 27 spline hub that fits your transmission input shaft exactly
Single cover design keeps things simpler while delivering serious holding power

Built for Real Farm Work

These John Deere 40, 50, and 55 series tractors are proven workhorses that often have decades of hard service. The paddle-type clutch design provides excellent grip for heavy draft work, but eventually wear takes its toll. Whether you’re pulling a chisel plow through tough ground or running a big bailer all day, this clutch system handles the demanding stop-and-go work that wears out standard clutches.

Made to Last

The cerametallic disc material handles heat better than organic facings, which means it’ll keep working even when you’re working your tractor hard. The 5-paddle configuration spreads the load across more contact points, reducing wear and extending service life. This isn’t lightweight equipment—you’re getting commercial-grade components that can take whatever you dish out.

Good to Know

This is transmission-out work that requires proper alignment tools and mechanical experience. The 330mm paddle disc must be centered accurately using the alignment tool. The 45 x 27 spline hub should slide smoothly on the input shaft without forcing. The paddle design will feel slightly different from a standard clutch during break-in, but it’ll smooth out after the first few hours of operation.
