Description
When you hear that telltale grinding or feel the vibration from your PTO during engagement, there’s a good chance that little thrust washer inside the PTO housing has worn down to nothing. It’s one of those small parts that does a big job—keeping your PTO gears properly spaced and aligned so power transfers smoothly from engine to implement without binding or excessive wear.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-machined steel washer that maintains proper gear spacing in your PTO assembly
- Exact thickness to restore factory clearances and eliminate play
- Heat-treated surface that resists wear under the constant thrust loads PTO gears create
- Direct replacement that fits without modification or special tools
Built for Real Farm Work
This washer fits the PTO assemblies in John Deere’s most popular utility and row-crop tractors from the 6000 series through the 7030 series. Whether you’re running a 6420 with a rotary cutter, operating a round baler with your 6030, or powering a post-hole digger with a 7220, these are the machines that handle the daily PTO work on farms across the country.
Made to Last
PTO components take a beating from the constant starting, stopping, and varying loads that come with farm implements. This thrust washer is made from quality steel that’s sized and hardened to handle the axial forces your PTO gears generate without crushing or wearing out prematurely. It’s built to maintain those critical clearances season after season.
Good to Know
Replacing a PTO thrust washer requires splitting the tractor, so it’s typically done during major transmission work or clutch replacement. If you’re experiencing PTO problems and have the rear end apart anyway, it’s smart to inspect and replace these washers as preventive maintenance. Always use the correct thickness—too thick and gears bind, too thin and you’ll get excessive play and noise.
