Description
When your engine’s got that telltale back-and-forth knocking sound or you notice extra vibration during startup, there’s a good chance your crankshaft thrust bearing has worn out. This critical component keeps your crankshaft positioned properly in the block, absorbing the front-to-back forces from clutch operation and engine torque loads. Without a good thrust bearing, expensive crankshaft and engine damage follows quickly.
What You’re Getting
- Flanged design provides precise crankshaft positioning and prevents axial movement
- Heavy-duty construction handles the extreme loads from high-horsepower engines
- OEM-quality materials resist wear from constant clutch cycling and engine vibration
- Standard dimensions ensure proper fit and engine clearances
Built for Real Farm Work
These big John Deere row-crop and four-wheel-drive tractors are serious workhorses that generate substantial crankshaft loads. During heavy pulling, PTO work, or when you’re using the clutch frequently in loader operations, the thrust bearing takes a beating absorbing those axial forces that try to push the crankshaft forward and backward in the engine.
Made to Last
This bearing uses quality materials and precision manufacturing to handle the demanding environment inside your engine. The flanged design distributes loads properly while maintaining the tight tolerances these engines need for reliable operation and long service life.
Good to Know
Thrust bearing replacement typically requires major engine work, so it’s smart to inspect other internal components while you’re in there. Check crankshaft end play with the new bearing installed to ensure proper clearances. This is definitely a job for experienced mechanics with the right tools and engine knowledge.
