Description

When you’re running cotton and your doffer assembly starts making noise or running rough, worn spacers are often the culprit. This short doffer spacer keeps your doffer components properly aligned and spaced on the shaft, which is critical for smooth operation and good picking performance. Without the right spacing, your doffers can bind up or wobble, leading to poor cotton removal and potential damage to other components.

Key Features

Precise 1.16-inch height maintains proper component spacing in the doffer stack
Splined inner diameter fits snugly on the 1-1/4 inch doffer shaft for secure positioning
1-3/4 inch outer diameter matches factory specifications for smooth operation
PickSmart quality construction built to handle the constant rotation and vibration
Direct replacement for John Deere N198746 – no modifications needed

Built for Real Farm Work

This spacer is designed specifically for John Deere Pro-16 and Pro-12 series cotton pickers, the workhorses you’ll find in cotton fields across the South. These machines put in long days during harvest season, and every component in the doffer assembly needs to hold up under that constant use.

Made to Last

Cotton picking is hard on equipment, with dust, debris, and the constant spinning motion of the doffer assembly. This spacer is manufactured to OEM standards with materials that resist wear and maintain their dimensions season after season.

Installation Notes

This spacer slides right onto the splined doffer shaft – the splines prevent any slipping once it’s in position. You’ll need one spacer per doffer stack, so check your other stacks while you’re in there. A good tip is to inspect the shaft for any nicks or burrs that could damage the splines when installing.
