Hex Bore Specialty Bearing with Triple Lip Seal for John Deere Cotton Stripper Applications

Description

When you’re running cotton strippers in dusty, dirty conditions, the last thing you need is a bearing failure stopping your harvest. This specialty bearing handles the unique demands of cotton picker spindles and stripper drums where a standard round-bore bearing just won’t cut it. The hex bore design locks onto hex shafts without slipping, while the triple lip seal keeps cotton lint and field debris from destroying your bearing.

What You’re Getting

• Triple lip seal system that keeps dust, moisture, and cotton debris out of the bearing races
• Nylon shroud provides extra protection against impact damage from cotton burrs and stems
• Spherical outer race design accommodates shaft misalignment that’s common in picker assemblies
• One-piece construction eliminates the weak points where multi-piece seals typically fail
• Precision hex bore machining ensures proper fit on picker shaft without play or binding

Built for Cotton Harvesting

This bearing was designed specifically for John Deere cotton strippers where picker spindles and drum assemblies take a real beating. Cotton harvesting creates some of the nastiest operating conditions your equipment will ever see—sticky cotton debris, abrasive dust, and constant vibration that would kill a standard bearing in no time.

Made to Last

Timken engineering means this bearing uses premium steel races and high-grade grease that won’t break down when things get hot and dusty. The triple lip seal design creates multiple barriers against contamination, while the nylon shroud adds impact resistance that plastic seals can’t match.

Installation Notes

This is a direct replacement bearing that slides right onto your hex shaft. Clean the shaft thoroughly before installation and check for any nicks or burrs that could damage the new seal. A thin film of clean grease on the shaft helps with installation and initial sealing.
