The clutch in my JD tractor is shot for sure but how do I know whether or not the pressure plate is bad and needs replacing?

You can contact Carolina Clutch & Brake. They may be able to rebuild your clutch. They do farm tractors. Hal

pressure plate springs get weaker and weaker as the disc shrinks in thickness. Sometimes, you can reuse a pressure plate. But nowadays, I put in everything new. No sense in putting one of this and nothing of the other.

I spose that would depend somewhat on the tractor. I dunno about the 2 cylinders, but if it's a later, more conventional tractor then just look at the plate. If it's grooved up or the PTO drive hub splines (if it has one) are bad, then you would replace it.
Generally speaking, I think if you let the clutch go to the point where it was completly useless and slipping to the point where there was no drive, then the PP should be changed anyway and the flywheel ground to remove the grooves from it.... that's if you want the clutch job to last.
There are always rare instances where you would get away without that, but not many.
