Series 1550 Cross and Bearing Kit for Center Pivot Irrigation Systems

Description

When you hear that grinding or clicking coming from your center pivot’s driveline during irrigation season, it’s usually those universal joints telling you they’re ready to fail. A worn cross and bearing assembly doesn’t just make noise—it can seize up and leave you with dead zones in your field when you need water the most. This replacement cross and bearing kit gets your pivot running smooth and reliable again, keeping your crops watered through the critical growing season.

What You’re Getting

• Precision-machined cross that maintains exact 90-degree angles between bearing journals for smooth operation
• High-quality needle bearings manufactured to tight tolerances, eliminating the slop that causes accelerated wear
• Heavy-duty construction designed to handle the constant movement and vibration of pivot systems
• Direct replacement for Series 1550 applications—no modifications needed

Built for Irrigation Work

This cross and bearing kit is designed specifically for center pivot irrigation systems that run hundreds of hours each season. Whether you’re watering corn, soybeans, or specialty crops, your pivot’s driveline takes constant abuse from the repetitive motion, weather exposure, and the torque needed to move those heavy spans across the field. Series 1550 components are built to handle this demanding environment.

Made to Last

Irrigation equipment operates in tough conditions—mud, dust, temperature swings, and constant moisture. This cross and bearing assembly features sealed needle bearings that keep contaminants out while holding grease in. The forged steel cross is heat-treated for maximum strength and designed to resist the wear that comes from thousands of rotations under load.

Installation Notes

Replace these components during your off-season maintenance when you can take your time and do the job right. If one universal joint is worn, check the others—they typically wear at similar rates. Always grease the new assembly thoroughly before installation and mark your driveshaft position before removal to maintain proper balance.
