So I bought a 86’ John Deere 450e dozier over the summer. Bad clutch- slips when hot. I’ve been working on it since about 98’ for the customer. Right now it has 3,889 hrs documented.

I just pulled the engine and found what looks like a pressure plate for a steering clutch engine n place of a drive clutch pressure plate. The face surface of the pp is only 1” wide. the friction disk has wear only on 1” of the 2-1/2” material. The fly wheel side of the disk is worn only at the outer edge. Fly wheel has no heat marks or cracks just rusty. Does anyone know if this is normal or did someone replace this clutch with the wrong part many years ago? The previous owner bought it used with 3,100hrs. And barely used it until this summer and worked it kinda hard for a day or two and it started to slip and sold it to me.
Let me know your thoughts. Any John Deere wrenches I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Thanks-
