Description

When your three-point hitch starts binding up or making noise when you’re trying to hook up implements, worn pivot bearings are usually the culprit. This critical bearing sits at the pivot points where your hitch moves, taking all the stress and vibration from heavy implements swinging around. Without good bearings, you’ll fight to get implements level, deal with jerky operation, or worse—damage expensive hydraulic components.

What You’re Getting

Heavy-duty sealed design that keeps dirt and moisture out where it belongs
Precision tolerances for smooth operation even under heavy loads
High-grade steel construction that handles the constant stress of field work
Direct replacement that bolts right into your existing hitch setup
Built to handle the cycles of raising, lowering, and adjusting implements all day long

Built for Real Farm Work

Your Case MX tractors and McCormick MC, MTX, and XTX series machines are workhorses built for serious farming. These tractors spend their days connecting and operating everything from cultivators and planters to mowers and spreaders. The three-point hitch system gets a real workout, especially when you’re working uneven ground where the hitch has to flex and move to keep implements stable.

Made to Last

Three-point hitch pivot points face some of the toughest conditions on your tractor—high loads, constant movement, dirt, moisture, and shock from implement operation. This bearing uses premium materials and precise manufacturing to handle all that punishment without giving up early. The sealed design keeps the grease in and the dirt out, so it keeps working smoothly even in dusty conditions.

Installation Notes

You’ll need to remove the implement and relax the hitch system completely before starting this job. Take your time cleaning all the mounting surfaces and apply fresh grease to the new bearing before installation. A good tip: when one bearing goes bad, check the others—they often wear at similar rates and replacing them all at once saves you from doing this job again next season.
