Description
When your clutch starts slipping on heavy loads or won’t release cleanly when shifting, you know it’s time for a replacement. Your clutch takes incredible abuse – engaging under full engine torque, slipping during loader work, and handling the shock loads of PTO engagement. When it wears out, you’ll notice slipping when pulling heavy loads, difficulty getting into gear, or that burning smell that means the friction disc is toast. This KAWE clutch assembly brings back the solid engagement and smooth shifting your tractor had when new.
What You’re Getting
- Premium friction materials designed specifically for agricultural applications that resist glazing and overheating
- Heavy-duty pressure plate that maintains consistent clamping force throughout the clutch’s life
- 330mm (13 inch) diameter disc providing ample torque capacity for demanding field work
- Precision-balanced components that eliminate vibration and extend service life
- Disc-only assembly design for rebuilding existing pressure plates
Built for Real Farm Work
This KAWE clutch assembly fits John Deere 50, 51, and 55 series tractors – proven workhorses that handle everything from hay production to heavy cultivation. 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, running a baler, or doing loader work, this clutch delivers the grip you need.
Made to Last
The friction disc uses quality materials that resist glazing and provide smooth engagement characteristics. KAWE has been building clutches for agricultural equipment for decades, understanding the punishment farm tractors dish out day after day. The 13-inch diameter provides plenty of surface area to handle high torque loads without overheating.
Installation Notes
Clutch replacement is a major job requiring tractor splitting in most models. This isn’t a quick repair – plan for proper shop time with appropriate splitting stands. Remember that this kit includes the clutch disc only – you’ll need the bearing wear plate (QTP-59516) and may want to consider the full flywheel (QTP-59801) if yours needs resurfacing. The heavy weight means freight shipping is required.
