Description

When you’re dealing with wheel hubs, axles, or gearbox assemblies on larger tractors and equipment, precision matters. This Timken 29685 bearing cone is built to handle the heavy loads and tough conditions that come with serious farming and construction work. With a 2.875-inch inner diameter, this isn’t a little utility tractor bearing—it’s designed for the big stuff that does the real work.

Built for Real Farm Work

This size bearing typically shows up in wheel hub assemblies on larger tractors, combines, and heavy implements. You’ll also find it in gearboxes, final drives, and PTO assemblies where heavy loads and constant rotation demand the best. If your equipment weighs several tons and works hard every day, chances are this bearing is doing its job somewhere in the drivetrain.

Made to Last

Timken has been making bearings for over a century, and they know what it takes to survive in agricultural applications. This cone is precision-machined from high-carbon steel and heat-treated to handle both radial and thrust loads. The tapered design spreads loads evenly across the rolling elements, which means longer life even when you’re pushing your equipment to its limits.

Installation Notes

Remember that tapered roller bearings work as a system—you’ll need the matching cup to complete the assembly. Take your time with proper preload adjustment, and always use fresh grease during installation. If you’re replacing one bearing, it’s usually smart to do both sides while you’ve got everything apart.
