Description

When you start hearing that telltale knocking from under the hood or notice your oil pressure dropping, worn connecting rod bearings are likely the culprit. These bearings are right at the heart of your engine, keeping those connecting rods moving smoothly and protecting your crankshaft from damage. This undersized bearing is exactly what you need when your crankshaft journal has been turned during an engine rebuild.

What You’re Getting

Precision-manufactured to 0.010 inch undersize for properly machined crankshaft journals
Quality bearing material that handles the constant loads and vibration of diesel engine operation
Direct replacement during engine overhauls – fits like the original equipment
Built to restore proper oil clearances and protect your crankshaft investment

Built for Real Farm Work

This bearing fits John Deere tractor engines that have had their crankshafts turned during rebuild. Whether you’re overhauling a utility tractor that’s been pulling implements for years or rebuilding the powerplant in your main field tractor, proper bearing clearances are critical for long engine life and reliable operation.

Made to Last

Connecting rod bearings take some of the hardest punishment in your engine, especially during heavy pulling or PTO work. This bearing uses quality materials and construction to handle the constant reciprocating motion and combustion pressures that come with serious farm work season after season.

Installation Notes

Installing connecting rod bearings requires complete engine disassembly and is definitely a job for someone with engine rebuilding experience. Always check bearing clearances with plastigauge before final assembly to ensure everything’s within specification. This is the perfect time to inspect your crankshaft, connecting rods, and replace other engine internals like main bearings and rings.
