Built for Real Farm Work

This retaining ring works in bearing housings found on various agricultural equipment from different manufacturers. For SMA15141 John Deere & SMA764 Forrest City housings. Whether you’re working on tillage equipment, planters, or other field implements, this ring provides the secure bearing retention that keeps your machinery running reliably through long seasons.

Made to Last

Agricultural bearing housings take tremendous abuse from dust, moisture, and constant movement. This retaining ring is built to maintain its spring tension and grip even after thousands of hours in harsh field conditions. The hardened steel resists wear and corrosion while providing consistent clamping force on your bearings.

Good to Know

Before installing, clean the housing groove thoroughly and inspect for any damage or wear that could prevent proper seating. Always use proper ring pliers – never pry with screwdrivers as this can weaken the ring. Check bearing condition while you’ve got things apart, as a failed retaining ring often indicates other problems in the housing assembly.
