When your cotton picker’s upper bar starts wearing or develops play in the sleeve, you know it’s time for a replacement. A worn sleeve affects the entire picker bar assembly’s alignment and operation, which can cost you cotton and time in the field. This service sleeve restores proper fit and keeps your John Deere picker running smooth when the cotton’s ready to harvest.
What You’re Getting
- Precision 1.55-inch inside diameter for proper shaft fit without excessive play
- 3.61-inch length provides full support along the critical wear zone
- Uses tapered key N195970 for secure, wobble-free mounting
- PickSmart quality construction built to handle the constant motion of picking
- No groove design for applications where groove isn’t needed
Built for Real Cotton Work
This sleeve is designed for John Deere Pro Series cotton pickers – the machines that handle everything from small family farms to large commercial operations. Whether you’re picking irrigated cotton in California or dryland cotton in Texas, this sleeve handles the continuous rotation and stress that comes with long harvest days.
Made to Last
Cotton picking puts serious demands on picker bar components with all that spinning and vibration. This sleeve uses quality materials and manufacturing to stand up to the dust, debris, and constant motion. The precision bore and length specifications ensure it’ll work just like the original factory part.
Good to Know
Installation requires removing the picker bar assembly, so it’s a good time to inspect other wear components while you’re in there. Make sure you have the tapered key (N195970) on hand before starting the job. If you need a sleeve with groove, order SMA279372G instead.
