Description
If you’ve been fighting a hard clutch pedal or hearing grinding noises when you press the clutch, there’s a good chance your release 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. This bearing does the critical job of pushing against the pressure plate fingers when you press the clutch pedal, allowing the clutch disc to separate from the flywheel so you can shift gears smoothly.
What You’re Getting
- Sealed construction prevents dirt and moisture contamination that commonly causes premature bearing failure in agricultural environments
- Precision-manufactured to handle the constant cycling of clutch engagement in farm work
- AgSmart quality construction built to withstand the vibration and stress of field operations
- Direct replacement design that fits your existing clutch fork and release mechanism
Built for Real Farm Work
This bearing fits a range of workhorse Massey Ferguson tractors including the popular 135, 155, and 165 models that are still earning their keep on farms today, plus the larger 1100, 1300, 1301, and 1401 series tractors. Whether you’re running a compact 135 for chores around the farm or using a bigger 1300 for serious field work, these tractors handle everything from loader work to PTO operations where smooth clutch function keeps you productive.
Made to Last
Proper clutch function is essential for protecting transmission components and maintaining operator safety during equipment operation. This bearing is built to handle the demanding conditions of agricultural use, with quality materials that resist wear from the constant heat cycles and mechanical stress that come with farm work.
Good to Know
Installation requires transmission separation to access the clutch assembly, making this typically a shop-level repair. While you’ve got things apart, it’s smart to inspect your clutch fork, pressure plate fingers, and pilot bearing – worn release bearings often indicate other clutch components are due for attention too. This is one of those jobs where doing it right the first time saves you from splitting the tractor again next season.
