Universal Joint Cross and Bearing Kit for 1480 Series Irrigation Drivelines

Description

When you’re running irrigation equipment that needs to move water across your fields, the last thing you want is your driveline failing right in the middle of the job. Those needle bearings wear out and the cross develops slop from all the constant movement and power transmission needed to keep those irrigation systems turning. This cross and bearing kit gives you everything you need to rebuild those worn universal joints and get back to moving water where it needs to go.

What You’re Getting

• Complete kit includes cross, needle bearings, and snap rings for full joint rebuild
• Precision-machined cross designed to maintain exact 90-degree angles under load
• Type 2 design with snap ring grooves in yokes for secure retention
• External snap ring design makes field repairs possible with basic tools
• Quality components built to handle the demanding conditions of irrigation work

Built for Irrigation Work

This kit is designed specifically for the 1480 series irrigation drivelines that power center pivot systems, linear move irrigators, and other water management equipment. These systems run constantly during growing season, often 24/7, transferring power through constantly changing angles as the equipment moves across your fields. Whether you’re watering corn, soybeans, or pasture, your irrigation equipment takes a beating and needs reliable components that won’t leave you high and dry.

Made to Last

This kit includes precisely machined crosses that maintain exact 90-degree angles between bearing journals. The needle bearings are manufactured to tight tolerances, providing smooth rotation without the slop that causes accelerated wear. These components are built to handle the continuous operation and varying loads that irrigation equipment demands throughout the growing season.

Installation Notes

External snap rings mean you can service these joints without special pullers or presses – just basic hand tools and some patience. Never reuse snap rings – they lose tension and pop out when you least expect it. Pack the new bearings with quality grease before installation, and if one joint needs rebuilding, it’s smart to rebuild them all since they wear at similar rates.
