I just pulled the steering clutches out of my Allis HD4, and one side has the traditional fibers and steels, but the other side has has all steel. I suppose the metal plates that are taking the place of the fibers have some sort of friction coating - it's kind of hard to tell. For years, when I worked for several Deere dealers, we thought about trying the metal disks that Deere offered as a "heavy duty" option for 350s and 450s. But, they were too expensive, even in the 60s and 70s, so we never tried them. Has anybody else? I'm wondering if they are less apt to get stuck since they've won't absorb moisture or oil like the fiber clutch disks do. I'm also wondering where these disks in my Allis came from. My Allis parts book shows two different part numbers but does not indicate what material the disks are. One more thing. On one side, there is an extra steel and disk as compared to the other. It appears there has been some machining done to make room for the extras. Was this a common practice? One side has five fiber disks and 4 steel plates, and the other side has four (metallic) disk and three steel plates - and that is the proper number as shown in the book. The metallic plates are exactly the same thickness as the fibers.
