Benye 304 Clutch needed - anyone help with possible source

[mel1of4]

My Benye 304 needs a new clutch and my supplier is struggling to source the linings. Does anyone know if John Deere still supply parts from China or how I could get out of this fix? This tractor has a dual clutch to operate the PTO as well. Benye UK (as was) are stuck and they have sold a couple of hundred units like mine - few upset customers when their clutches give up.
Any suggestions for a work around welcome.

Are there other sellers of essentially the same tractor that have better parts availability?

If that fails there's plenty of places that reline clutches without having access to manufacturer parts. It's common for vintage cars.

It is unfortunate that the importer can't get common parts.

I would check with Tommy at Home of compact Jinma, Foton, and Koyker Tractors and Parts, Wood Chippers, Backhoes - Affordable Tractor Sales Company

If Affordable doesn't have the clutch you may want to try Farm Boys, iirc Benye was also sold as a Rhino in 1 of the horsepower sizes.

I needed a disc for an old Clark forklift clutch.
I found a generic supplier online and ordered it by diameter and spline size.
