Description

When you start hearing grinding or whining noises from your transmission during field work, there’s a good chance this little bearing is crying for help. The pinion bearing cone might be small, but it’s carrying serious loads every time you run your bush hog, hay baler, or post hole digger. When you hear that grinding noise from a wheel hub or feel play in your equipment’s bearings, it’s time to get things fixed before you’re stuck in the field. A worn pinion bearing doesn’t just cause annoying noise—it can lead to expensive transmission damage down the road.

Hardened surfaces resist wear even under heavy loads – perfect for farm equipment that doesn’t get a break
The tapered roller design handles both weight and side forces better than straight roller bearings, giving you smoother operation in tough conditions

Built for Real Farm Work

This bearing cone serves a wide range of John Deere tractors from the versatile 6J series utility machines through the premium 6M and 6R series, plus the reliable 6020, 7020, and 7030 series workhorses. Whether you’re running a mid-size tractor for hay operations or a bigger machine for row crop work, these are the tractors that handle everything from plowing and planting to harvest and transport duties across America’s farms.

Made to Last

The quality steel construction resists wear even after thousands of hours of field service. Timken has been making bearings for farm equipment for generations, and they know what it takes to survive in agricultural conditions. The hardened steel construction resists wear even in dirty, demanding conditions.

Good to Know

This is the cone half of a tapered bearing set – you’ll need the matching cup to complete the installation. Always replace bearing cups and cones as a set – mixing old and new parts leads to premature failure. When installing, proper preload is critical for bearing life, so follow your equipment manual’s torque specifications.
