If you’ve got a Timpte hopper trailer, you know how important those door mechanisms are for getting grain unloaded quickly and efficiently. When the bearings in the door crank or tarp frame start wearing out, you’ll notice the crank getting harder to turn or hear grinding noises that tell you it’s time for a replacement. This flange bearing keeps everything running smooth so you can get back to hauling grain without delays.
What You’re Getting
- 1-inch bore greasable bearing that handles the constant rotation and stress of door operation
- Two-hole flange design mounts securely with 3/8-inch bolts for a rock-solid connection
- Wide inner race design distributes loads better and lasts longer than standard bearings
- Lock collar system keeps the bearing positioned properly on the shaft during operation
- Fits both door crank mechanism and tarp frame lower shaft applications
Built for Real Farm Work
This bearing is designed specifically for Timpte hopper bottom trailers made after 1988. It works in the door crank mechanism that opens and closes your hopper doors, plus it’s used on each side of the tarp frame for the lower shaft. Whether you’re hauling corn, soybeans, or wheat, this bearing handles the daily grind of farm-to-elevator runs.
Made to Last
Grain hauling puts bearings through a lot—constant vibration on the road, dust and debris from loading, and the heavy loads that come with door operation. This bearing is built with greasable fittings so you can keep it lubricated and extend its service life even in tough conditions.
Installation Notes
This is a direct replacement that bolts right into the existing mounting holes. Make sure to pack the bearing with fresh grease before installation, and don’t forget to grease it regularly to keep everything running smooth. If you’re replacing one bearing, it’s often smart to check the others while you’ve got your tools out.
