Mudguard Base Plate for Fendt 500 Vario Series Tractors

Description

When your Fendt’s mudguard starts looking loose or wobbling around after a few seasons of work, it’s usually not the guard itself that’s the problem—it’s that base plate that anchors everything to the tractor frame. That metal-on-metal grinding damages your fenders and mounting brackets, and what starts as a $20 bearing replacement can turn into expensive bodywork or welding repairs if you put it off too long. This sturdy base plate provides the solid foundation your mudguard system needs to stay put and do its job properly.

What You’re Getting

• Heavy-duty mounting base designed specifically for Fendt 500 Vario series tractors
• Precision-engineered to handle the side loads and stresses from mudguard movement during steering
• Direct replacement that uses your existing mounting points—no modifications needed
• Quality steel construction that won’t crack or bend under normal farm conditions

Built for Real Farm Work

This base plate fits the versatile Fendt 500 Vario series—the 512, 513, 514, and 516 models that farmers depend on for everything from loader work around the dairy to precision field operations. Those front mudguards pivot every time you turn the steering wheel, whether you’re making tight turns in the barnyard or working headlands with wide implements. The base plate takes all that stress and transfers it properly to the tractor frame where it belongs.

Made to Last

Farm equipment bearings take a beating from dust, moisture, temperature swings, and constant movement. This bearing uses sealed construction to keep contaminants out while providing smooth operation season after season. The base plate is built with the same durability philosophy—heavy-gauge steel that handles the punishment of daily agricultural work without failing when you need it most.

Installation Notes

This is a straightforward replacement using your existing mounting holes and hardware. Clean the mounting area thoroughly before installing the new bearing, and a light coating of grease helps with installation. While you’ve got things apart, check the opposite side since these bearings usually wear at similar rates. It’s also a good time to inspect your mudguard mounting bolts for any signs of wear or loosening.
