Description
A noisy wheel bearing is never good news, especially when you’re trying to get through planting or harvest. That howling sound means metal-on-metal contact, and if you don’t address it soon, you’ll be dealing with a seized wheel instead of just a simple bearing replacement. You know how much grief a failed bearing can cause. When you’re in the middle of planting or harvest and a wheel bearing starts howling, you’ve got bigger problems than just the noise.
What You’re Getting
- Inner cone component of a tapered roller bearing assembly that handles both radial and thrust loads
- Quality steel construction with proper heat treatment to resist wear in farm conditions
- Precision manufacturing for smooth operation even when things get dusty and dirty
- 0.756-inch width designed for reliable heavy-duty performance
Built for Real Farm Work
This bearing cone is commonly found in wheel hubs on tractors, implements, and transport equipment where you need reliable support for heavy loads. Whether it’s supporting the weight of a loaded grain cart or handling the side loads from turning in the field, these bearings keep things rolling smoothly season after season. Tapered roller bearings like this one are workhorses in agricultural equipment because they can handle the combination of heavy loads and side forces that comes with farm work. You’ll find similar bearings in everything from tractor transmissions and final drives to implement gearboxes and PTO assemblies where precise shaft positioning and smooth operation matter.
Made to Last
Timken has been making bearings for farm equipment since before your granddad was farming, and they know what it takes to survive in agricultural conditions. The steel is properly hardened to resist wear, and the precision manufacturing means it’ll run true even when things get dusty and dirty. Farm equipment faces mud, dust, moisture, and heavy loads that quickly destroy inferior bearings.
Installation Notes
This is just the inner cone—you’ll need the matching cup that presses into your hub. Make sure to pack the bearing properly with grease before installation, and check that your hub races aren’t worn or pitted. A little extra time on the bearing service will save you a breakdown later when you can’t afford the downtime. Always replace bearings in complete sets and use fresh, high-quality wheel bearing grease during installation.
