Description

When you’re hearing grinding noises from your equipment or feeling play in rotating shafts, it’s usually a bearing trying to tell you something. This Timken 568 tapered roller bearing cone is built to handle the heavy loads and constant vibration that come with farm work, whether it’s in a tractor transmission, implement drive system, or other machinery where smooth rotation matters.

What You’re Getting

3-inch inside diameter with precision manufacturing for a tight, reliable fit
Tapered design that handles both weight loads and side forces better than straight bearings
1.424-inch width provides solid support for demanding applications
Hardened steel construction resists wear even in dusty, dirty conditions
Standard tolerance ensures compatibility with existing equipment specs

Built for Real Farm Work

This bearing cone is commonly found in wheel hubs on tractors, implements, and transport equipment where you need reliable support for heavy loads. Tapered roller bearings like this one are workhorses in agricultural equipment because they can handle the combination of heavy loads and side forces that comes with farm work. You’ll find similar bearings in everything from tractor transmissions and final drives to implement gearboxes and PTO assemblies where precise shaft positioning and smooth operation matter.

Made to Last

Timken has been making bearings for farm equipment since before your granddad was farming, and they know what it takes to survive in agricultural conditions. The steel is properly hardened to resist wear, and the precision manufacturing means it’ll run true even when things get dusty and dirty.

Good to Know

Remember that tapered roller bearings work as a system with their matching cup, so it’s best practice to replace both components together. Use quality bearing grease during installation and follow proper torque specifications for safe operation and maximum bearing life. Always replace bearings in complete sets and use fresh, high-quality wheel bearing grease during installation. Proper torque specifications and bearing adjustment are critical for safe operation and maximum bearing life.
