Built for Real Farm Work

This bearing is designed for John Deere cotton strippers where dust and fiber create some of the toughest operating conditions you’ll find. It’s also used in round balers from the 410 and 510 series up through the 566 and 568 models. These machines work hard during peak seasons, and this bearing is engineered to keep up with the demanding pace of harvest operations.

Made to Last

Farm equipment bearings need to survive conditions that would destroy regular industrial bearings. This Timken bearing uses premium materials and sealing technology designed specifically for agricultural applications. The single lip seal provides excellent protection against dirt and moisture while maintaining proper lubrication flow.

Good to Know

The hex bore design prevents the bearing from spinning on the shaft – a common problem with round bore bearings in high-vibration applications. Installation is straightforward since it’s a direct replacement for the original equipment. Make sure to clean the shaft thoroughly before installing the new bearing, and don’t forget to check your grease fittings while you’ve got everything apart.
