Description
When your combine’s steering feels loose or you notice uneven tire wear, it’s often because the stub axle pivot needs proper shimming. This small but critical part maintains the correct clearances in your steering system, keeping everything tight and tracking straight through long harvest days.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-cut shim that sets proper bearing clearance in the stub axle assembly
- Upper position shim specifically designed for the 50HX configuration
- Exact thickness specification to restore factory steering geometry
- Durable steel construction that won’t compress or deform under load
Built for Harvest Work
This shim is engineered for the demanding conditions of combine harvesting where precise steering control is essential. Whether you’re navigating around obstacles in the field or making tight turns at headlands, proper stub axle shimming ensures your 860 tracks straight and responds predictably to steering inputs.
Made to Last
Combine harvesters work in dusty, abrasive conditions that can wear steering components over time. This shim maintains its dimensional stability through temperature changes and the constant vibration of harvest operations, providing lasting steering precision when you need it most.
Installation Notes
Shimming stub axle pivots requires careful measurement to achieve proper bearing preload. Too tight and you’ll create binding, too loose and you’ll have excessive play. If you’re not comfortable with this type of precision work, it’s worth having your dealer handle the installation to ensure proper steering geometry.
