This ball bearing is made of durable metal and fits in between a spacer and a washer to prevent excessive friction and heat between different parts of lawn and garden equipment. If the bearing retainer or the ball wears out, it can cause problems with turning the wheel on a lawnmower or other equipment. The balls take the load and spin to distribute weight evenly while avoiding friction so the tool can run smoothly.Ball bearings experience wear constantly when a machine is being used, so they can start to wear out or experience problems. The heat, vibration, pressure, and friction will start to wear them down. Because of that, ball bearings often need maintenance or replacement. To replace the ball bearings, remove the wheels and the height adjuster, if present. Take out the old bearing holders and remove the bearings. Put the new ones in and reassemble the machine.This is an authentic OEM replacement ball bearing directly sourced from the manufacturer. It is sold as an individual item. The ball bearing is designed for edgers, lawn tractors, trimmers, and lawnmowers manufactured by Yard-Man, Craftsman, MTD, and Yard Machines.
