Description
If you’ve been hearing grinding noises from your front axle or feeling vibrations through the steering wheel, there’s a good chance your half shaft bushing is worn out. This little bronze bushing might not look like much, but it keeps your half shaft aligned and running smooth so power transfers properly to your front wheels. When it’s shot, you’ll know it—and so will everyone else who hears your tractor coming.
What You’re Getting
- Bronze construction that handles the heat and abuse of daily farm work
- Self-lubricating properties that keep things running smooth even when you can’t baby them
- Precision-machined bore that gives your half shaft the support it needs
- Heat-resistant materials that don’t break down under heavy loads
- Direct replacement that fits like the original—no modifications needed
Built for Real Farm Work
This bushing fits the Carraro 4WD front axles in New Holland 40 Series tractors—those workhorses like the 5640 through 8340 that handle everything from field cultivation to heavy transport work. These are the machines you count on when you need front-wheel drive power to get through soft ground, pull heavy implements, or navigate steep terrain without getting stuck.
Made to Last
Bronze bushings are the way to go for this application because they can handle the constant rotation and side loads without seizing up. The material naturally resists corrosion from moisture and chemicals, plus it handles temperature changes better than cheaper alternatives. This isn’t the place to cut corners—a quality bushing prevents expensive damage to your half shafts and CV joints.
Installation Notes
Fair warning—this isn’t a quick roadside fix. You’ll need to partially tear down the front axle and use a hydraulic press to remove the old bushing and seat the new one properly. While you’re in there, it’s smart to check your half shafts for wear and make sure the axle housing has clean oil. Take your time with the reassembly and use fresh gaskets to keep everything sealed up tight.
