Re: JD 440IC Steering Clutch Adjustment
I have it all apart. I think I used all of my gasket scrapers to get it slid apart. There was a lot of dried mud in the bottom. The steel plates were rusted. The pressure plate surface is rusted and gauled. I’m going to guess someone installed a new cheap pressure plate and clutch pack and brake ban...

Thank you.
Do you sell the steering clutch / brake band kit or just the tool to set the pressure plate?

JD 440IC Steering Clutch Adjustment
Hello I have a 1959 John Deere 440IC with a 6 way hydraulic blade. It sat for a number of years before I bought it. The left steering clutch was stuck when I loaded it. A few solid pulls on the left lever and it began working. I have used it about 25 hours and the left steering doesn’t work the way ...

I removed the seat and the brake adjuster covers. I found that my left brake lever shaft was froze/rusted where the bolt and...
