When your combine’s cutting head, cleaning system, or grain handling components start making noise or binding up, it’s often a bearing that’s calling for help. This specialty agricultural ball bearing with its unique 11/16-inch hex bore is designed specifically for the demanding conditions inside combines where round shafts just won’t cut it. The hex bore provides a positive lock that keeps the bearing from spinning on the shaft, even when things get tough during harvest season.
What You’re Getting
- Timken quality construction built for the stop-and-start nature of combine work
- 11/16-inch hex bore that locks securely to hexagonal shafts without slipping
- 1.85-inch outer diameter fits standard combine bearing housings
- Wide inner and outer rings distribute loads evenly for longer life
- Ball bearing design handles both radial and moderate thrust loads
Built for Real Farm Work
This bearing is engineered for combines and other harvest equipment where precise shaft positioning matters. You’ll find applications like this in header drives, cleaning shoe assemblies, grain elevators, and conveyor systems. The hex bore design is particularly common in newer combines where manufacturers need to prevent bearing creep and maintain exact timing between components.
Made to Last
Harvest season doesn’t wait for convenient repair schedules, so this bearing is built to handle the dust, chaff, and vibration that comes with combining grain. The precision-ground races and quality steel construction mean it’ll keep turning smoothly even when you’re pushing through heavy crops or working long days to beat the weather.
Good to Know
The hex bore makes installation straightforward—just slide it onto the shaft and it locks in place. Check that the shaft hex isn’t worn or damaged before installing, as a loose fit will cause premature bearing failure. Keep spare seals handy since the bearing housing seals typically need replacement when you’re changing bearings.
