Description

When your PTO shaft starts making that grinding noise or develops a vibration that rattles your teeth, it’s time to rebuild those universal joints before something expensive breaks. Whether it’s a brush hog that’s hit too many fence posts or a tedder that’s been bouncing through rocky fields, worn U-joints are a recipe for disaster. This cross and bearing kit gets you back to smooth power transfer and eliminates the dangerous vibrations that tell you a joint’s about to let go at the worst possible moment.

What You’re Getting

27mm (1.06 inch) bearing caps engineered for precise fit in metric yokes
Complete bearing sets with high-quality needle bearings for smooth operation
Snap ring grooves cut into the cross for easy installation with basic hand tools
74.6mm overall length designed specifically for Bondioli Series 4 and Walterscheid 2300 applications
Quality construction that handles the torque loads from modern tractors

Built for Real Farm Work

This kit fits the metric PTO shafts you’ll find on European tractors and many newer American models. The Bondioli Series 4 and Walterscheid 2300 series are common on mid-sized tractors running everything from rotary cutters to hay equipment. These are the joints that take the punishment when you’re powering through thick grass or turning soil that’s tougher than concrete.

Made to Last

Farm work doesn’t give second chances, so this kit is built with quality bearings and properly heat-treated crosses. The needle bearings are manufactured to tight tolerances, providing smooth rotation without the slop that causes premature wear and that telltale clunking sound when you engage the PTO.

Good to Know

The snap ring design means you won’t need hydraulic presses or special pullers—just basic hand tools and patience. Clean out the old grease and inspect the yoke ears for wear while you’ve got things apart. A little anti-seize on the snap rings makes future service much easier.
