The clutch plate on my D17 Industrial looks like this.  Is that what it is supposed to be or is this some aftermarket thing?


The parts book shows it looking more like this which is from my WD45D.  Thanks.  Tom

Thanks.  Was this something Allis Chalmers ever sold?  And are there advantages or disadvantages to it?

Ceramic eats flywheels much faster than fiber.Ceramic was made to hold more torque with same plate load.It may out last fiber but at the cost of the flywheel.Not necessary on a 50hp unit in my opinion.
