Description
If your old IH Cub or Cub Lo-boy is getting hard to shift or making grinding noises when you press the clutch, chances are it’s time for a new release bearing. A failing clutch release bearing causes clutch chatter, difficult shifting, and eventual complete clutch failure—problems that’ll leave you stuck in the middle of chores. This graphite release bearing restores smooth clutch operation and gets your reliable workhorse back to doing what it does best.
What You’re Getting
- TISCO quality construction built to handle the demands of farm work
- Graphite bearing material provides smooth operation and extended service life
- Direct replacement design—no modifications needed for proper fit
- Sealed construction prevents dirt and moisture contamination that commonly causes premature bearing failure in agricultural environments
Built for Real Farm Work
This bearing fits the legendary International Harvester Cub and Cub Lo-boy tractors—compact workhorses that have been handling farm tasks for decades. Whether you’re mowing pastures, running a tiller, or doing loader work around the farmstead, these smaller tractors pack plenty of capability into a manageable package. The Cub series earned its reputation for reliability in applications where maneuverability matters as much as power.
Made to Last
The graphite bearing material is specifically chosen for its self-lubricating properties and resistance to wear. Unlike standard bearings that can seize or wear prematurely in dusty farm conditions, this graphite construction keeps operating smoothly season after season. Proper clutch function is essential for protecting transmission components and maintaining operator safety during equipment operation.
Installation Notes
Installation requires transmission separation to access the clutch assembly, making this typically a shop-level repair. While you’ve got things apart, it’s a good time to inspect the clutch fork, release mechanism, and pilot bearing. Apply appropriate grease to contact points and ensure proper bearing alignment before reassembly for best results.
