Description

When your cotton stripper starts making noise or you notice play in the picker drums, chances are it’s time to replace those hex bore bearings. Cotton stripping is tough work—all that lint, debris, and constant rotation puts serious stress on bearings. This NTN bearing is built to handle the punishment and keep your stripper running smooth when the cotton’s ready to pick.

What You’re Getting

Sealed bearing design keeps cotton lint and field debris out where it belongs
1-inch hex bore fits snugly on stripper drum shafts without slipping
Spherical outer race allows for slight misalignment that happens in field conditions
Premium NTN construction means reliable performance season after season
Direct replacement for OEM parts—no modifications needed

Built for Real Farm Work

This bearing is specifically designed for John Deere cotton strippers where the picker drums see constant use. The hex bore design transfers power efficiently while the sealed construction keeps the elements out. You’ll find these bearings working hard in the dusty, linty environment that would wear out standard bearings fast.

Made to Last

Cotton stripping puts bearings through the wringer with all that debris flying around. This NTN bearing uses quality seals and materials that stand up to the harsh conditions. The sealed design means you don’t have to worry about greasing—it’s got the lubrication it needs built right in.

Good to Know

These bearings are a direct replacement, so installation is straightforward if you’ve got the drums pulled off. Clean the housing thoroughly before installing the new bearing, and check that hex shaft for any wear while you’re at it. A bearing puller makes removal of the old bearing much easier than trying to beat it out.
