Description

Cotton picking season doesn’t wait, and when your spindle drive starts acting up, you need a gear that’ll get you back in the field fast. This top gear is the key component that transfers power from your drive shaft to keep those spindles spinning at the right speed for clean, efficient cotton harvesting.

What You’re Getting

14 teeth cut to exact specifications for smooth power transfer
Direct replacement for John Deere N118289 – no modifications needed
Two roll pin holes already sized and positioned (5/32″ x 1″ and 3/32″ x 1″)
Precision machined to handle the constant rotation and stress of cotton picking

Built for Real Farm Work

This gear is specifically designed for John Deere CP770 cotton pickers with serial numbers before 230002. These machines are workhorses in cotton country, running long days through fields where every spindle needs to perform flawlessly. The drive system on these pickers takes a beating, and this gear is built to handle that punishment.

Made to Last

PickSmart builds this gear to match the durability of the original John Deere part. The teeth are cut clean and true to mesh perfectly with your drive system, and the material can handle the heat and stress that come with hours of non-stop picking in dusty conditions.

Good to Know

Make sure to check your serial number – if your CP770 is serial 230002 or higher, you’ll need part SMA85567 instead. When installing, inspect the roll pins and replace them if they show any wear. A worn roll pin can cause the gear to slip, which means lost picking time when you can least afford it.
