Description
When your draper header starts cutting rough or that sickle motion gets jerky, there’s a good chance the sickle head drive bearing has had enough. This sealed bearing assembly is what lets your knife head move smooth and steady through thick crops and tough conditions. Without it working right, you’ll notice vibration, uneven cutting, and probably some noise you don’t want to hear in the cab.
What You’re Getting
- Sealed bearing design keeps dirt and debris out where it belongs
- Direct replacement for worn or damaged drive blocks on John Deere and AGCO headers
- Smooth operation that eliminates vibration and maintains proper sickle motion
- Heavy-duty construction built to handle the constant back-and-forth motion of header work
Built for Real Farm Work
This drive block fits John Deere’s 600, 700, and 900 series draper headers—the workhorses you see cutting everything from soybeans and wheat to canola and sunflowers. It also works on AGCO knifehead systems that use the same bearing design. These headers spend long days in dusty, demanding conditions, and this bearing keeps the sickle moving like it should.
Made to Last
The sealed bearing design is key here—it keeps the grease in and the field dirt out. This part is built to handle the constant reciprocating motion and side loads that come with header work. You’ll get seasons of reliable cutting without the wobble or binding that comes with worn bearings.
Good to Know
This is a straightforward replacement that bolts right in place of your old drive block. Before installation, check the knife head for any damage or excessive wear that might have been caused by the old bearing. A little grease on the mounting bolts makes removal easier next time around.
