If you've been dealing with clutch chatter, hard shifting, or grinding noises when you press the clutch pedal, chances are your release bearing is calling it quits. This critical component sits between your clutch fork and pressure plate, and when it starts failing, it can leave you stranded right when you need your tractor most. A failing clutch release bearing causes clutch chatter, difficult shifting, and eventual complete clutch failure. This replacement bearing restores smooth clutch operation, eliminating grinding noises and ensuring proper clutch disengagement for safe shifting. Key Features Bronze construction provides exceptional heat resistance and wear characteristics, making it ideal for tractors operating under heavy loads or in demanding conditions Sealed construction prevents dirt and moisture contamination that commonly causes premature bearing failure in agricultural environments Ensures proper clutch disengagement and smooth shifting - no more fighting with the gear stick Direct replacement part that fits perfectly without modifications or adapters Essential component for dual clutch systems that handle the demanding power shifts Built for Real Farm Work This bearing is designed for the workhorses of modern agriculture - Ford 40 Series (5640, 6640, 7740, 7840, 8240, 8340) and TS Series (TS80, TS90, TS100, TS110, TS115) tractors are versatile workhorses designed for medium to large-scale farming operations. These reliable tractors ranging from 80 to 160 horsepower excel in field cultivation, hay production, loader work, heavy tillage operations, and demanding agricultural tasks. Whether you're pulling a heavy plow through tough ground or running a PTO-driven baler all day, this bearing handles the constant engagement and disengagement that comes with real farm work. Made to Last Proper clutch function is essential for protecting transmission components and maintaining operator safety during equipment operation. This bearing is built with the same quality materials and construction as the original equipment, so it'll hold up to the vibration, dust, and temperature swings that come with agricultural use. The bronze construction resists wear even under the heavy loads these tractors are known for handling. Good to Know Installation requires transmission separation to access the clutch assembly, making this typically a shop-level repair. Most folks have their dealer or a qualified mechanic handle this job since you'll need to split the tractor. When you're having it installed, it's smart to inspect the clutch fork and pressure plate fingers while everything's apart - this bearing works with other components that may need attention too.
