Description

If you’ve been fighting with your Athens plow lately—maybe the moldboards aren’t staying in position or the trip mechanism isn’t working smoothly—there’s a good chance you need to look at the trunnion bearing assembly. This small but crucial retaining ring keeps the bearing properly seated in its housing, and when it fails or goes missing, you’ll know it right away. Your plow won’t trip correctly, and you might even hear rattling or grinding that tells you something’s not right.

What You’re Getting

Precision-made retaining ring that keeps trunnion bearings properly positioned
Compatible with Athens plows and many other tillage equipment brands
Durable construction that handles the constant stress of field work and impacts
Direct replacement that restores proper bearing function and equipment performance

Built for Real Farm Work

This retaining ring works with Athens plows and fits many other makes of tillage equipment that use similar trunnion bearing designs. Whether you’re running through rocky ground, hitting roots, or just dealing with the normal stresses of breaking ground, this ring keeps your bearing assembly working like it should so your plow can trip and reset properly when it hits obstacles.

Made to Last

Trunnion bearings take a beating in field conditions, and the retaining ring has to handle all that stress too. This one’s built from quality materials that won’t crack under pressure or lose their grip on the bearing housing. It’s designed to stay put season after season, even when your plow is working through the toughest conditions your farm can dish out.

Good to Know

When installing a new retaining ring, make sure the bearing housing is clean and free of debris. A little grease on the ring helps with installation, but don’t overdo it—too much can collect dirt. While you’ve got things apart, check the bearing itself for wear or damage. If the bearing’s rough or loose, replace it at the same time to avoid having to tear everything down again next season.
