When you press the clutch pedal and feel grinding, chattering, or resistance—or worse yet, the clutch won't fully disengage—chances are this small but critical bearing is calling it quits. A failing clutch release bearing causes clutch chatter, difficult shifting, and eventual complete clutch failure, potentially leaving operators stranded during critical farming operations. This replacement bearing restores smooth clutch operation, eliminating grinding noises and ensuring proper clutch disengagement for safe shifting. It's one of those parts that doesn't cost much but can save you from a lot of downtime and frustration. What You're Getting Sealed construction that keeps dirt and moisture out—essential for the dusty, muddy conditions your tractor faces every day Precision engineering that ensures smooth clutch engagement and disengagement for better control Direct replacement design that fits your original clutch setup without modifications Durable materials built to handle the constant cycling that farm work demands Built for Real Farm Work The 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. Their robust power delivery and dependable performance make them ideal for dairy farms, crop operations, livestock management, and custom farming services where consistent power transmission and clutch reliability are essential for productive farming operations. This bearing also fits the newer T6000 series and Case IH MXU tractors. Made to Last The sealed construction prevents dirt and moisture contamination that commonly causes premature bearing failure in agricultural environments. Proper clutch function is essential for protecting transmission components and maintaining operator safety during equipment operation. This isn't some generic bearing—it's designed specifically for the demands of agricultural clutch systems. 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. If you're doing the work yourself, remember that this system requires LHM mineral oil—don't use regular brake fluid or you'll damage the seals.

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.

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.
