Description

When you’re running cotton through the stripper heads and notice that familiar rumble or squeak from a worn bearing, it’s time to replace it before it leaves you stuck in the middle of harvest. This two-bolt flange bearing assembly with a 1-inch hex bore is built to handle the constant spinning and vibration that comes with cotton stripping, keeping your machine running smooth when every day counts.

What You’re Getting

Single lip seal design that keeps cotton debris and dust out while letting the bearing run cool
1-inch hex bore that fits directly on your stripper’s hex shaft without wobbling or slipping
Two-bolt flange mounting with 3-1/2 inch hole spacing for secure attachment to your housing
AgSmart quality that meets the demands of commercial cotton operations

Built for Real Farm Work

This bearing assembly is designed specifically for John Deere cotton strippers where the stripper heads spin constantly through acres of cotton plants. Cotton stripping creates a harsh environment with plant material, dust, and moisture trying to work their way into every moving part. The single lip seal strikes the right balance – it keeps the worst contaminants out while allowing proper heat dissipation during those long days in the field.

Made to Last

Cotton harvest doesn’t wait, and neither should your bearings. This assembly uses quality materials that can handle the continuous rotation, shock loads from uneven plant material, and the fine dust that cotton creates. The hex bore design eliminates the slippage problems that can plague round bore bearings when torque loads get heavy.

Installation Notes

This is a direct replacement that bolts right up using the factory hole pattern. When replacing, take time to clean out any old grease and debris from the housing. A thin coat of anti-seize on the hex shaft makes future removal easier. Check that your hex shaft isn’t worn – a rounded or damaged shaft can cause premature bearing failure.
