Long-Life Clutch For 5400 Series JD Tractors
 ✖  |
FARM SHOW readers' complaints about the short clutch life on 5400 Series Deere tractors have been heard by T.C.M., Staceyville, Iowa. The company has built its business remanufacturing clutches, water pumps, hydraulic pumps and steering valves for 10, 20 and 30 series tractors.
"When we started rebuilding clutches for the 5400 Series, we weren't satisfied with the materials being used," says co-owner, Sam Katter. "We tried different friction materials until we found one that would wear longer and take the heat better. It will double the life on the clutch."
T.C.M. markets its clutches through existing Deere dealers. Prices may vary somewhat between dealers, but suggested retail price for the replacement clutch is around $525.
"We put in new pieces where needed, test all springs so plate loads are within specs, and put a one-year warranty on dealer-installed clutches," says Katter.
