Description
Ever notice your 4WD front axle feeling loose or noisy during heavy field work? When stub axle bearings start to wear, they develop play that can damage expensive axle components. This precision shim helps you dial in the proper bearing preload during assembly, eliminating that costly play and keeping your front axle running smooth and tight when you’re pulling through tough conditions.
What You’re Getting
- Ultra-thin 0.10mm shim for precise bearing adjustment during assembly
- Quality steel construction that won’t compress or deform under load
- Exact replacement for original equipment—no guesswork on fit
- Critical for proper 4WD front axle bearing preload and longevity
Built for Real Farm Work
This shim works in the 4WD front axles of Massey Ferguson tractors from the smaller 200 series utility machines up through the bigger 4200 and 4300 series row-crop tractors. Whether you’re using your 240 for loader work around the farmyard or running a 4355 through heavy spring tillage, proper bearing adjustment keeps that front axle pulling when you need the extra traction.
Made to Last
Bearing shims might be thin, but they do a critical job. This one’s made from quality steel that maintains its precise thickness under the heavy loads and vibration of 4WD operation. It won’t compress or wear like cheaper materials, so your bearing adjustment stays put for the long haul.
Installation Notes
Bearing shims are used during axle assembly to achieve proper bearing preload—too loose and you’ll get damaging play, too tight and the bearings overheat and fail. Multiple shims are often needed to get the adjustment just right, so measure your clearances carefully and have extra shims on hand. This is precision work best done with a dial indicator and the proper service manual.
