CASE 530 DIFFERENT CLUTCH PLATES

[Travwm]

I will need to order a clutch plate for a Case 530 Utility Tractor. Are there any differences between clutch plates for the model years?
Some look like a conventional car clutch and some look like a 4 blade fan blade.
Please advise and thank you.

The 4 blade one is a button clutch disc...will last longer than a fiber disc.

Great advice thank you

They pull harder and last longer but are more jumpy and grabby.

Your 530 does not need a Button Clutch. They are designed for higher HP's and higher torques than your 530 develops. They are hard on Flywheels, and Pressure Plates. They wear into them. A Button Clutch is also harder to "feather". Stay away from them.

Have had a button disc in my 1030 since 1972. Had a Case 70 loader on it since 79. Loaded thousands of square bales and round bales plus loaded manure. Never has been grabby or hard to feather...been perfect all this time.

With that luck, you better go buy some lottery tickets!!

A 1030 is much heavier and has a lot more torque and hp which will smooth out the clutch some. And with the extra torque of a 1030 there is a use for the button clutch. My 1030 has one too.

Not my 1030. I won't use a button or pad clutch. Too hard on the Pressure Plate and Flywheel. Customers that call here for clutches that have button clutches need pressure plates and flywheel work. Customers with "Woven" discs tell me all they need is a disc.

Trouble is, those old one-piece replacement linings aren't available anymore, at least in the 11" size.

Strange.....We shipped 1 out today.

Apologies Mr. Saeli, I'm probably referrring to different parts. The G45782 clutch plate or the G37029 facing. All the clutch shop could offer me was to put buttons on my original disc (1 1/4"-10 spline). And, yeah, I definitely noticed it was more grabby, but the replacement pressure plate assy A36962 had brutally strong springs, so I dunno, pretty hard to feather anyway.

I recently needed a clutch disc for my 1958 511b, matched one up from a 1957 corvette.
