Description
When you start hearing that telltale clicking from your PTO shaft that gets louder under load, you know it’s time to rebuild those U-joints before they fail at the worst possible moment. This 55 series cross and bearing kit gives you everything needed to get your universal joints running smooth again, stopping those dangerous vibrations that signal trouble ahead.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-machined cross that maintains exact 90-degree angles between bearing journals for smooth power transfer
- High-quality needle bearings manufactured to tight tolerances that eliminate slop and reduce wear
- External snap ring design lets you service joints with basic hand tools – no special pullers needed
- Standard duty construction built to handle typical farm implement loads and operating conditions
Built for Real Farm Work
This 55 series kit handles medium-duty PTO applications with its 4-5/16 inch overall length and 1-17/32 inch bearing cap diameter. Whether you’re running a rotary cutter, post hole digger, or other implement that sees regular use, this cross and bearing set delivers reliable power transmission when you need it most.
Made to Last
Standard duty doesn’t mean cheap – it means engineered for typical farm use without over-engineering for extreme applications. The cross maintains precise angles that prevent binding and premature wear, while the needle bearings provide smooth rotation that extends service life between rebuilds.
Good to Know
Mark your yoke positions before taking things apart to maintain proper phasing and prevent vibration. Clean those yoke bores thoroughly before installation, and don’t reuse old snap rings – they lose tension and can pop out when you least expect it. Pack the new bearings with quality grease before assembly and check for smooth operation through the full range of motion.
