What kind of clutch does John Deere use?

To help “steer” you toward creating a superior steering clutch we wanted to encourage you to use the bimetallic steering clutch discs and to eliminate the old style fiber friction discs. To do this, we have discontinued the fiber friction discs to make sure you get a superior clutch.

Which is steel separator in John Deere jd450 steering clutch?

The T20717 steel separator plates are often confused with the T31732 plates used in the later steering clutches. To be sure which plates you have in your clutch the thickness should be measured. The T20717 will measure closer to .087- .09 while the later discs will be closer to .097-.099.

Why is my steering clutch not working on my John Deere 450B?

If the quantity of your discs varies from what is normally required, it is usually caused by the mis-use of the wrong steel separator plates. The JD 450B used the thicker plates. To complete your repair of the JD450 steering clutch, we have produced NEW steering clutch pressure plates, complete with mounting cover, springs and levers.
