Description
When you hear that grinding sound coming from your disc gang or notice a disc wobbling out of line, you know it’s time for new bearings. A failed disc bearing isn’t just annoying noise – it leads to uneven tillage and can cause costly damage to your disc gang shaft. This sealed bearing gets your harrow running smooth again, so you can focus on making a good seedbed instead of nursemaiding equipment.
What You’re Getting
- Spherical outer race design handles the side loads and impacts disc harrows dish out
- Sealed construction keeps dirt and moisture out while keeping grease in where it belongs
- Pre-lubricated and ready to install – no messy packing with grease required
- 1-1/8 inch square bore fits your gang shaft perfectly with no wobble or play
- 87mm outside diameter matches your existing bearing housing precisely
Built for Real Farm Work
This bearing is designed for the disc harrows that built American agriculture – International Harvester, Long, Kewanee, and Taylorway machines. Whether you’re working corn ground, incorporating soybean stubble, or preparing wheat stubble for the next crop, these workhorses have been turning soil for decades. Disc gangs take tremendous abuse, especially in rocky soils or when working heavy residue, and when bearings fail you’re looking at fuel waste and potential catastrophic damage.
Made to Last
This bearing is designed specifically for disc applications, with superior sealing to keep dirt out and grease in. The spherical outer race lets the bearing self-align as your discs work through uneven ground, reducing stress that kills standard bearings. It’s built to handle the constant vibration, side loading, and impact that comes with cutting through tough residue and variable soil conditions.
Installation Notes
Replacing disc bearings is manageable with basic tools – start by marking gang position before disassembly to maintain proper disc spacing, then remove the entire gang shaft to access the bearing. Clean everything thoroughly since old grease mixed with dirt acts like grinding paste, and check your shaft for wear where the bearing rides. While you have the gang apart, inspect all bearings on that shaft since they typically wear at similar rates.
