Description

When your steering starts feeling loose or you hear grinding noises coming from the steering box, chances are the worm shaft bearing inside has worn out. This little bearing is what keeps the worm and sector gear setup running smoothly – without it, you’ll have sloppy steering that makes precision work nearly impossible. This replacement bearing gets your steering box back to tight, responsive operation.

What You’re Getting

Precision-manufactured bearing that fits the steering box worm shaft perfectly
Quality steel construction built to handle the constant turning and load changes of farm work
Direct replacement for multiple part numbers – no modifications or adapters needed
Proper tolerances that eliminate play while allowing smooth operation

Built for Real Farm Work

This bearing fits both the 100 series tractors like the 165, 168, 175, 178, 185, and 188, plus the 200 series models including the 265, 275, 285, and 290. These are the workhorses you see everywhere – pulling planters, running cultivators, operating loaders, and handling everything from hay work to heavy tillage.

Made to Last

Farm steering systems take a beating with constant use, vibration, and the stress of heavy implements. This bearing is built to handle those demands with proper heat treatment and quality materials that won’t fail when you need reliable steering most.

Good to Know

Replacing this bearing requires disassembling the steering box, so it’s typically done as part of a complete steering box rebuild. If you’re hearing noise or feeling excessive play, check the other steering box components while you’re in there. Most shops recommend replacing seals and adjusting the gear mesh at the same time.
