Clutch Release Bearing for Classic Ford Tractors and Massey Ferguson 35 Series

Description

If you’ve ever pushed in the clutch pedal and heard grinding or squealing, you know that sinking feeling—your release bearing is telling you it’s time for attention. This little workhorse sits at the heart of your clutch system, and when it starts acting up, your whole day can grind to a halt. A worn release bearing makes shifting rough, causes clutch chatter, and eventually leaves you stuck in whatever gear you’re in when it finally gives up.

What You’re Getting

• Precision-engineered bearing that handles the constant spinning and engagement cycles your tractor demands
• Sealed construction keeps dirt and moisture out—critical for tractors working in dusty fields and muddy conditions
• Proper dimensions (2.0625″ inner diameter, 3.515″ outer diameter, 0.84″ width) for exact OEM fit
• Quality materials designed to handle the heat and stress of heavy clutch use

Built for Real Farm Work

These classic tractors are the backbone of countless operations—from the legendary Ford 8N and 9N models that defined small farming to the reliable 2000, 3000, and 4000 series workhorses that handle everything from hay production to loader work. The Massey Ferguson 35 and TE20 models continue serving farms worldwide with their simple, dependable design. Whether you’re running a compact utility tractor or a mid-range field machine, this bearing keeps your clutch working smoothly through years of demanding use.

Made to Last

The sealed construction prevents dirt and moisture contamination that commonly causes premature bearing failure in agricultural environments. These bearings are built to handle the constant cycling that comes with tractor work—frequent starts and stops, PTO engagement, and the kind of abuse that comes with real farming.

Good to Know

Installation requires splitting the tractor to access the clutch assembly—this is typically a job for your shop. While you’ve got things apart, it’s smart to inspect the clutch fork and release mechanism, and apply fresh grease to all the contact points. Many folks find this is a good time to replace the whole clutch if it’s showing wear, since you’re already doing the heavy lifting to get to it.
