When you’re cutting hay and notice excessive wear or rattling in your mower head, there’s a good chance the bushings are worn out. These little parts work hard, supporting rotating shafts while getting hammered with dust, debris, and constant vibration. This bushing supports the rotating half shaft while allowing controlled movement necessary for steering articulation and suspension travel, keeping your cutting head running smooth and true.
What You’re Getting
- Precise 1/2-inch inner diameter for a snug fit on the shaft
- 1-7/8-inch outside diameter provides solid support in the housing
- 1-3/4-inch inner length and 1-1/2-inch outer length for proper spacing
- Quality TISCO construction provides reliable performance at a fraction of OEM replacement cost
Built for Real Farm Work
This bushing fits New Holland mower conditioners equipped with cutting head numbers 86507377 and 129986. These are the workhorses that cut everything from first-cutting alfalfa to tough roadside grass, where the cutting heads take a beating from rocks, stumps, and uneven terrain. The bushing keeps the rotating components aligned so your cut stays clean and even.
Made to Last
Agricultural bushings take a beating from dirt, moisture, and constant use in the field. This one’s built to handle the loads and conditions that come with cutting operations, from light grass to heavy brush that puts stress on every part of the cutting assembly.
Installation Notes
This is a press-fit bushing that goes into the hub bore—you’ll need a bushing driver or appropriately sized socket to install it properly. Clean out the old bushing completely before pressing in the new one. Check the shaft for wear while you’ve got things apart—a scored shaft will eat up a new bushing quickly.
