Description

When your 4WD front wheels aren’t getting the power they should, or you’re hearing grinding noises from the front hubs, there’s a good chance this little 23-tooth idler pinion is the culprit. This bearing and carrier assembly is critical for transferring power from your transmission to the front axle. The idler pinion plays a key role in that power transfer, and when it’s worn or damaged, your front-wheel drive performance suffers when you need it most.

What You’re Getting

Precision-cut 23-tooth gear designed for front hub applications
OEM-quality construction that stands up to the constant load cycles of 4WD operation
Direct replacement that restores proper gear engagement and smooth operation
Three pinions needed per tractor for complete front hub service

Built for Real Farm Work

This pinion fits a wide range of utility and row-crop tractors that handle everything from loader work to heavy tillage. Your 4WD tractor earns its keep when conditions get tough – pulling through muddy fields, climbing steep slopes with a loaded spreader, or pushing snow in winter. Whether you’re running Ford New Holland 35, TD, TL, or TS series machines, or Fiat 66, 88, 90, or 93 series tractors, this pinion keeps your front drive system working when traction matters most.

Made to Last

The 23 teeth are cut to exact specifications and properly heat-treated to resist wear from the constant mesh cycles of 4WD operation. Farm work puts tremendous stress on front hub components, and this pinion is engineered to handle those demands without premature failure or excessive noise.

Good to Know

Remember you’ll need three of these pinions per tractor for a complete front hub rebuild. While you’re in there, consider replacing the bearing needles (part 7497) and other idler pinion (part 7496) to get everything back to like-new condition. It’s also a perfect time to check your front hub oil levels and condition.
