Description
When your speedshift transmission starts slipping under load or grabbing harshly during gear changes, worn friction discs are usually the culprit. This individual friction disc is a critical component of your tractor’s speedshift system – the same advanced transmission technology that lets you change gears without clutching or stopping. If you’re tired of dealing with transmission problems when you’ve got work to do, this replacement disc gets you back to smooth, reliable shifting.
What You’re Getting
- Engineered to handle the high pressures and temperatures generated during power shifting while maintaining consistent performance
- Quality friction material that provides smooth engagement without harsh grabbing that can damage other transmission parts
- Construction that resists the glazing and burning that can occur with inferior discs
- Individual disc replacement – part of the complete 8-disc kit (part 61404) if you’re doing a full rebuild
Built for Real Farm Work
These Massey Ferguson tractors revolutionized farm efficiency with their innovative speedshift transmissions, and the 5400 through 8200 series are beloved by farmers for their versatility in handling everything from cultivation and planting to hay production and loader work. The speedshift system enables you to match ground speed perfectly to working conditions – upshifting for transport, downshifting for heavy loads, all without stopping or clutching, which is crucial during time-sensitive operations like planting and harvest.
Made to Last
Speedshift transmissions operate under extreme conditions, with clutch packs engaging and disengaging constantly throughout the workday. This friction disc is built to handle that demanding environment, maintaining its friction characteristics season after season so you can count on smooth, reliable operation when you need it most.
Good to Know
This is a single friction disc – complete speedshift rebuilds require 2 sets of the 8-disc kit (part 61404) per tractor. If you’re just replacing one worn disc, this is your part. Installation requires splitting the tractor and complete disassembly of the speedshift unit – this is typically a professional-level repair requiring specialized tools and experience.
