Description

When your transmission starts making grinding noises or won’t engage gears properly, there’s a good chance the main drive gear has taken a beating. This critical component transfers power from your clutch to the transmission, and when it’s worn or damaged, your tractor’s not going anywhere. This shaft fits the workhorse Ford models including 5000, 6600, 7000, and related series tractors that have been putting in long days on farms for decades.

What You’re Getting

20-tooth gear design provides optimal power transfer and torque multiplication
490mm length ensures proper shaft alignment and smooth gear engagement
Heavy-duty construction built to handle the constant load cycles of farm work
Direct replacement part that installs just like the original factory component
NDP (Non-Dual Power) specification matches your tractor’s transmission configuration

Built for Real Farm Work

These Ford tractors are known for their reliability in everything from tillage and cultivation to hay operations and loader work. Whether you’re running a 5000 series utility tractor for general farm duties or pushing the limits with a 6600 or 7000 series machine in heavy field work, this main drive shaft handles the power transfer that makes it all possible. These robust machines excel in demanding applications including deep tillage, heavy cultivation, and operating high-capacity implements.

Made to Last

This isn’t some cheap aftermarket part that’ll leave you stranded during harvest. The gear teeth are machined to precise tolerances and heat-treated to resist wear, while the shaft itself is forged from high-strength steel that won’t twist under load. It’s built to match the durability standards of the original Ford engineering that made these tractors legendary for their longevity.

Installation Notes

Replacing this gear requires splitting the tractor between the engine and transmission, so it’s a job for someone comfortable with major tractor work or your local shop. The 20-tooth gear must properly engage with the transmission drive for correct operation. While you’ve got everything apart, it’s smart to inspect the clutch and transmission input bearing—replacing worn parts now saves splitting the tractor again later. Most experienced mechanics can handle this job with standard shop tools, but having a good hoist makes the work much easier.
