Description

When your John Deere starts grinding when you engage four-wheel drive or the front axle won’t engage smoothly under load, it’s usually these brake clutch plates that need attention. This friction plate is part of the multi-disc clutch system that transfers power to your front axle when you need that extra traction for heavy pulling, steep hills, or muddy conditions.

What You’re Getting

Quality friction material designed specifically for agricultural applications
Heat-treated construction that resists warping under heavy loads
Precision-manufactured for smooth engagement and reliable power transfer
Direct replacement for factory specifications

Built for Real Farm Work

This clutch system fits a wide range of John Deere tractors from the utility 5020 series all the way up to the larger 7030 series tractors. Whether you’re running a mid-size 6M series with a loader or operating a bigger 6R or 7000 series for row-crop work, this is the same friction material that came on your tractor from the factory. These tractors handle everything from hay operations to heavy tillage where that 4WD engagement makes the difference between getting stuck and getting the job done.

Made to Last

The friction material handles heat better and maintains consistent engagement characteristics even when your 4WD system is working hard under demanding conditions without the chatter or premature wear that cheaper materials experience. When you’re pulling through tough spots or working in conditions that demand 4WD, this plate keeps delivering reliable power transfer season after season.

Good to Know

This is part of a multi-disc clutch system, so when you’re doing this repair, it’s smart to inspect all the plates and consider replacing the steel separator plates at the same time if they show wear. A complete rebuild now saves you from tearing into it again next season when you really need your 4WD working.
