Description

When you’re running a Ferguson ditcher or other tillage equipment, the last thing you want is a seized bearing bringing your operation to a halt. This Timken/Fafnir insert bearing is built to handle the tough conditions that come with digging ditches, breaking ground, and working in dirt that’s anything but clean. The hex bore design locks securely to your shaft, while the greasable construction lets you keep it properly lubricated season after season.

What You’re Getting

1-3/4 inch hex bore that locks tight to your shaft without slipping
Insert bearing design with lock collar for secure, vibration-resistant mounting
Greasable construction so you can maintain proper lubrication in dusty conditions
Wide inner race spreads loads better for longer service life
Spherical outer race allows self-alignment even when housings aren’t perfectly straight

Built for Real Farm Work

This bearing is designed for Ferguson ditchers and similar agricultural equipment that takes a beating in the field. Whether you’re digging drainage ditches, creating irrigation channels, or breaking new ground, this bearing handles the constant shock loads and contamination that come with dirt work. The hex bore design is common on many older Ferguson implements and provides positive shaft engagement that won’t slip under load.

Made to Last

Timken and Fafnir bearings have been keeping farm equipment running for decades. This bearing uses quality steel construction with proper heat treatment to resist the wear that comes from operating in abrasive environments. The grease fittings let you pump fresh lubricant into the bearing regularly, flushing out contaminants and keeping the rolling elements properly protected.

Installation Notes

This is a direct replacement bearing that mounts just like the original. Make sure to pack the bearing housing with quality agricultural bearing grease before installation. The lock collar secures the bearing to your hex shaft – don’t over-tighten it, just snug enough to eliminate play. A quick tip: when you’re greasing, pump until you see fresh grease coming out the seals to ensure you’ve displaced any contaminated lubricant.
