When you press your clutch pedal and feel it grinding or not releasing properly, you're looking at the heart of your clutch system—the release bearing and carrier assembly. This critical component takes the force from your clutch pedal and transfers it to disengage the clutch plates, letting you shift gears smoothly. A properly functioning system ensures the release bearing carrier fully retracts when the clutch pedal is released, eliminating continuous bearing contact with the pressure plate fingers. What You're Getting Precision-manufactured components that ensure proper retraction of the release bearing carrier after clutch disengagement Designed to provide consistent spring tension and reliable operation for smooth clutch pedal feel and prevents clutch drag that can damage transmission components Complete assembly that includes both the bearing (3079) and carrier (886727) for one-stop replacement Sealed construction prevents dirt and moisture contamination that commonly causes premature bearing failure in agricultural environments Direct replacement for original equipment—no modifications needed Built for Real Farm Work This assembly fits Massey Ferguson tractors across the 300 and 4200 series used in diverse agricultural applications. These versatile tractors power implements and equipment requiring frequent clutch engagement such as loader operations, PTO-driven equipment, field cultivation, hay production, and general farm work where smooth clutch operation is essential. Made to Last These components are designed to resist the fatigue and wear that comes from thousands of clutch cycles, ensuring reliable operation even under the demanding conditions that farm equipment faces daily. Proper clutch function is essential for protecting transmission components and maintaining operator safety during equipment operation. Installation Notes Installation requires transmission separation to access the clutch assembly, making this typically a shop-level repair. Always inspect the clutch fork, release mechanism, and pilot bearing during installation. Apply appropriate grease to contact points and ensure proper bearing alignment before reassembly. Clutch adjustment may be required after installation to ensure proper pedal feel and complete clutch disengagement for safe operation.
