Description

When your PTO starts making noise, binding up, or feels rough when you engage it, this little bearing might be the culprit behind all that trouble. Your clutch takes incredible abuse – engaging under full engine torque, slipping during loader work, and handling the shock loads of PTO engagement. When it wears out, you’ll notice slipping when pulling heavy loads, difficulty getting into gear, or that burning smell that means the friction disc is toast. This tapered roller bearing supports the rear PTO clutch assembly, keeping everything spinning smooth and true so you can focus on getting work done.

What Makes This Bearing Special

Tapered roller design handles both radial and thrust loads from PTO operation
Precision-manufactured to handle the high speeds and torque loads your PTO demands
Heat-treated steel races resist wear and deformation under field conditions
Direct OEM replacement – no modifications or adapters needed

Built for Real Farm Work

This bearing fits a wide range of John Deere tractors from the smaller 40 and 50 series utility tractors up through the 6000 and 7000 series row-crop machines. Whether you’re running a rotary cutter, operating a hay baler, or powering any PTO-driven implement, this bearing keeps your power take-off system running smoothly through seasons of hard work.

Made to Last

Your clutch takes incredible abuse – engaging under full engine torque, slipping during loader work, and handling the shock loads of PTO engagement. This bearing is built to handle those same demanding conditions. The tapered roller design distributes loads evenly while the precision tolerances ensure smooth operation even when things heat up during heavy PTO work.

Installation Notes

Clutch replacement is a major job requiring tractor splitting in most models. This isn’t a quick repair – plan for proper shop time with appropriate splitting stands. Access to this bearing typically requires clutch disassembly, so it’s smart to inspect other clutch components while you’re in there. If one bearing’s worn, check the others too – they’ve all been working under the same conditions.
