Shielded Radial Ball Bearing for Ford Jubilee and Small Tractor Applications

Description

When your Ford Jubilee starts making that grinding noise from the transmission area, there’s a good chance it’s the pilot bearing giving up after decades of faithful service. This little bearing might be small, but it plays a big role in keeping your clutch engagement smooth and your transmission happy. A worn pilot bearing can make shifting rough and eventually damage other components, so replacing it when you hear the warning signs is smart preventive maintenance.

What You’re Getting

• Double metal shield design keeps grease in and dirt out, even in dusty conditions
• 17mm bore and 40mm outer diameter – standard 6203 size used across many tractor brands
• Precision steel construction handles both radial and light axial loads without binding
• AgSmart quality that meets or exceeds original equipment standards
• 12mm width fits the same space as your original bearing

Built for Real Farm Work

This bearing is most commonly used as a pilot bearing in Ford Jubilee tractors, but the 6203 size shows up in plenty of other places too. You’ll find this same bearing supporting PTO shafts, transmission components, and various rotating parts throughout older tractors and implements. It’s one of those standard industrial sizes that keeps showing up wherever you need a reliable, medium-duty bearing.

Made to Last

The shielded design means this bearing comes pre-packed with grease and sealed against contamination. Unlike open bearings that rely on external lubrication, this one’s ready to install and forget. The metal shields are tough enough to handle the vibration and temperature changes that come with tractor work, while still allowing the bearing to breathe slightly as it heats up and cools down.

Good to Know

Installation usually requires a bearing puller to remove the old one and a driver or press to seat the new bearing properly. Take your time getting it seated straight – a cocked bearing will fail quickly. Clean the housing thoroughly before installation, and don’t forget to check the mating surfaces for wear while you’ve got everything apart.
