Description
If you’ve been hearing odd noises from your rear axle or noticed your differential isn’t quite right during tight turns, this precision-engineered shim might be exactly what you need. Differential shims are the unsung heroes of your tractor’s drivetrain—they set the proper gear mesh and backlash that keep your differential running smooth and quiet for years to come.
What You’re Getting
- Precise thickness specification that sets proper gear mesh and eliminates noise
- Heat-treated construction that won’t deform under heavy loads
- Factory-grade material that matches John Deere’s original specifications
- Critical component for proper differential assembly and long-term reliability
Built for Real Farm Work
This shim fits a wide range of John Deere’s most popular tractors, from the versatile 6M series utility tractors perfect for loader work, through the reliable 7000 and 8000 series row-crop machines that handle everything from planting to harvest. Whether you’re pulling heavy tillage equipment, running a grain cart during harvest, or doing loader work around the farmyard, proper differential setup is essential for smooth operation and long component life.
Made to Last
Differential work isn’t something you want to do twice, so this shim is built to John Deere’s exacting standards. The precise thickness and hardness ensure it maintains its dimensions under the extreme pressures and temperatures found inside your rear axle. Quality materials mean this shim will do its job for the life of your differential.
Installation Notes
Differential shim installation requires complete disassembly of the rear axle—this is definitely a job for an experienced mechanic or dealer service department. Proper shimming requires measuring gear backlash and contact patterns, so don’t attempt this without the right tools and knowledge. When done correctly, your differential will run quieter and last longer.
