This TillXtreme bearing shares its 1 3/4″ round center hole and its display name with two other bearings we carry, but don’t assume they’re interchangeable. This one is built smaller and lighter (3.2 lbs) than our other 1 3/4″ round-CH bearings, and it’s specced for VT Kuhn Krause 8005 and 8010 models specifically — not the broader “all models” fitment those carry. Confirm your machine’s model and generation before ordering; center hole size alone isn’t enough to guarantee this is the right bearing for your gang.
Like every TillXtreme bearing we carry, it runs 7 lip seals against 3 to 4 on a standard bearing, which keeps moisture and dirt out and grease in whether the machine is running or sitting outside between seasons.
Field Notes
Most bearing failures don’t come from impact — they come from side load. A gang that wasn’t assembled square puts constant lateral pressure on the bearing regardless of seal count. Get the gang square before you torque it down.
In stock and ships fast from our Wisconsin warehouse — less time waiting on parts, more time in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions
This bearing has the same name and center hole as two of your other bearings — how do I know I need this one?
Center hole size alone won’t tell you. This one is smaller and lighter (3.2 lbs) than our other 1 3/4″ round-CH bearings, and it’s built specifically for VT Kuhn Krause 8005 and 8010 models. Give us your machine’s model and generation and we’ll confirm the right one.
Why does this bearing’s seal count matter?
Each lip seal keeps moisture and grit out and grease in. Most bearings run 3 to 4; every TillXtreme bearing we carry, including this one, runs 7 — that’s what lets it hold up sitting outside through the off-season instead of failing from moisture that got in while it wasn’t even running.
What actually causes most bearing failures?
Side load, not impact. A gang that wasn’t assembled square puts constant lateral pressure on the bearing no matter how well it’s sealed. Get the gang square before you torque it down.
What tools do I need to install this bearing?
A 1″ impact wrench capable of up to 2,000 ft-lbs and a strong air compressor. Inside/middle bearings mean pulling the whole gang, so budget for a two-person job on those.
