If you’ve been dealing with wobbly gauge wheels or closing wheels that don’t track straight on your cultivator or grain drill, chances are the stem bearings are worn out. When these little bearings start to go, you’ll notice it in uneven cultivation depth, poor seed placement, or wheels that just don’t roll smooth anymore. This short stem bearing with groove gets your equipment back to tracking true and maintaining consistent depth control.
What You’re Getting
- Compact 2.90-inch overall length fits tight spaces in gauge wheel assemblies
- Precision-machined groove design ensures proper positioning and prevents bearing drift
- 5/8-inch stem diameter fits standard John Deere cultivator and drill wheel applications
- Specialty agricultural bearing construction built for the dirt, dust, and loads of farm work
Built for Real Farm Work
This bearing is designed for John Deere RM series cultivators, 845 row crop cultivators, and 450 grain drills—machines that see plenty of action during planting and cultivation season. Whether you’re working corn ground in the spring or following up with post-emergence cultivation, these bearings handle the side loads and constant rotation that come with maintaining proper wheel tracking.
Made to Last
Farm bearings take a beating from field dust, moisture, and the constant vibration of ground engagement tools. This bearing uses agricultural-grade construction and sealing to keep contamination out while handling the loads and speeds your equipment dishes out. The machined groove isn’t just for looks—it keeps the bearing properly positioned so your wheels stay where they’re supposed to be.
Installation Notes
This is a direct replacement bearing that slips right into your existing wheel assembly. Clean out any old grease or debris from the wheel hub before installing the new bearing. A light coating of bearing grease on the stem helps with installation and provides extra protection during the first few hours of operation.
