Description

When your gearbox starts making that grinding noise or the PTO won’t engage smoothly, worn needle bearings in critical drive components are often the culprit. This needle bearing keeps the rotating shafts and gears in your tractor’s drivetrain running smooth and quiet, whether it’s in the PTO gearbox, steering mechanism, or wobble box assembly. Without proper bearing support, those precision-machined components start wearing against each other instead of doing their job.

What You’re Getting

Precision needle roller bearing designed for high-load agricultural applications
Fits multiple critical locations including PTO gearboxes, steering arms, and wobble box assemblies
Heavy-duty construction that handles the shock loads and vibration of field work
Direct replacement bearing that restores smooth operation to worn drivetrain components

Built for Real Farm Work

This bearing fits Case IHC tractors from the compact 644 series up through the bigger 1055 models, plus a wide range of John Deere tractors from the 20 and 30 series utility machines to the 40 series row-crop tractors. It’s also used in Massey Ferguson combine harvester wobble boxes. These are the workhorses that handle everything from loader work to heavy tillage, and they need bearings that can take the punishment.

Made to Last

Farm equipment bearings don’t get babied—they deal with dust, moisture, temperature swings, and constant shock loads. This needle bearing is built with quality steel races and rollers that maintain their precision even under heavy use. The tight tolerances ensure smooth rotation while handling the radial loads that come with PTO operation and gear mesh forces.

Good to Know

Replacing gearbox bearings typically requires splitting cases and proper bearing pullers or presses for installation. If you’re hearing noise from the PTO or steering, don’t wait—worn bearings can damage expensive gears and shafts. When you’ve got it apart, it’s worth checking the condition of seals and lubricant while you’re in there.
