My buddy, now dead, told me about the time he needed a new clutch plate for his 40 and the JD dealer had none in stock. Buddy headed for his favorite auto parts store with his old plate and they sold him a plate for a "Ford truck". Buddy said that he did not know the year or model of the truck part. He said that the plate fit and worked fine and that he liked the smooth engagement because of the springs in the hub, which the tractor plate did not have. Anyone know what year or model truck plate he had? Are the clutch hub springs good or bad for a tractor? Why? The truck engine certainly had more torque than the tractor engine.

I also know of a guy who redid the clutch in a 420. The clutch manufacturer was able to cross-reference the clutch called for in a 420 with one from a Ford. It was the same clutch, in two different boxes, with two different prices. (Want to guess which one was more expensive?) If you can find a good clutch guy, he should be able to help you out.

I put a new clutch in my MT last year. Plate looked like one from a car or truck but unfortunately the parts places here couldn't cross reference or oder with measurements so I had to pay Deere prices. Surprising thing was the yoke that holds the throwout bearing was also broken. It was in stock at the distribution warehouse but the clutch plate had to come from farther away. Deere definitely is proud of it's old tractor parts. Thought they were the only ones until I started working on a Farmall.

I had hoped someone could tell us the exact Ford clutch plate to use. I fear that I will encounter the same situation as Dan. According to my 1963 parts books, all the M JD used the same clutch plate. That same plate was used by many of the 40's, but it looks as if three different clutch plates were used in the 40's and the book does not indicate that they are interchangeable. Perhaps others will post or someone will get new information. Please tell us!
