Replacement Main Bearing For Deere Diesel Tractors

Replacement Main Bearing For Deere Diesel Tractors FARM SHOP Parts 30-6-38 If you own a Deere 80, 820, or 830 diesel tractor, you'll be interested in these new replacement main bearings for the engine crankshaft. "Our bearings are manufactured to Deere specifications from the correct aluminum alloy, unlike Deere's own bronze replacement bearings which will seize up," says Scott Wichlacz, Manitowoc Motor Machining & Parts, Inc., Manitowoc, Wis. There's a need for these bearings, says Wichlacz. "The problem is that Deere recently changed from the original aluminum alloy to a bronze alloy that is incorrect for rotating motion. When this new bearing is installed it can seize the crankshaft almost immediately, sometimes stopping the engine dead within 15 minutes of start-up. Some owners have even had to replace expensive engine parts that got damaged. "The bearings we sell are made from the same special aluminum alloy that Deere used in the past. They won't seize up."
