4520 clutch revisited

jdjerry · Nov 30, 2015

I finished putting the clutch in my 4520. I ended up putting a new flywheel and having the pressure plate rebuilt. The dowel pin/pistons and o rings for the pto seemed to be where the oil was leaking into the clutch housing. No leaks now. The batteries are weak and so are the ones I put in my 4440 {july of 2014}. The warranty is one year free replacement so I am going battery shopping. Deere wants $135 apiece and with the last strongbox lasting just over a year I am going to try some where else. Years ago I tried interstate batterries but they did not stand up well. Anyone know how they are now?

May I ask what the flywheel and the PP overhaul cost?

Make sure the batteries are for off road use as the vibrations will break the inside of a "car" battery . I would think any major battery company would have the right one . Just make sure it is the right cold crank amps. Make sure your charging system is up to par . A weak alternator will cause the batteries to crank but still be low on voltage hence low voltage will cause the batteries to fail sooner .

New Flywheel $728.00, Pressure plate rebuild with both clutch discs $800.00, other parts about $30.00, freight $200.00.

Both tractors are charging good . One of the 4440 batteries is bad and both batteries for the 4520 tested good. They were charged for a couple of hours each and the tractor was run for more than a hour but the next morning it did not spin over very good. They were over 10 years old so I just put in new ones. Will get them installed and it should be good.
