Description

When you’re deep into an engine rebuild and discover your crankshaft journal needs machining, you’ll need an undersized bearing to match. This .010 undersized connecting rod bearing is what you need when the machine shop turns your crank journals down to clean them up. It’s the difference between getting your tractor back to work and hunting for another engine.

What You’re Getting

Precision .010 inch undersized to fit properly machined crank journals
High-quality bearing material that handles the compression loads of diesel engines
Proper oil clearance when installed on correctly machined journals
Direct fit replacement that works with standard connecting rod assemblies

Built for Real Farm Work

This bearing is designed for the demanding duty cycle of John Deere diesel engines that power everything from utility tractors to row-crop machines. When your engine needs a rebuild because of worn journals or bearing failure, this undersized bearing lets you salvage a good crankshaft by having it turned to clean dimensions.

Made to Last

Engine bearings are the heart of any rebuild, and this one’s manufactured to handle the constant loads and temperature cycles that diesel engines dish out. The bearing material provides the right balance of strength and conformability to work with a properly prepared crankshaft for thousands of hours.

Good to Know

Always have your crankshaft journals measured by a machine shop before ordering undersized bearings. The .010 undersize specification needs to match exactly what the machinist turns the journals to. Check your connecting rod big end for proper roundness too—a warped rod will destroy even the best bearing.
