Overview

• Manufacturer: John Deere
• Part: Thrust Washer ( stamped steel)
• Function: axial spacer in drive and transmission assemblies; provides controlled axial load transfer between rotating components and maintains precise shaft alignment in John Deere agricultural equipment
• Material: stamped steel for durability in field conditions
• Typical use: integrated into driveline housings and engine/transmission interfaces to minimize wear and reduce shaft deflection during operation

Key Features

• Part Number: R290002
• Type of machine suitable for: John Deere agricultural tractors, combines, and equipment that employ stamped steel thrust washers in drive train and transmission assemblies
• Installation tips:
  • Ensure all mating surfaces are clean and free of burrs before installation
  • Verify bore and outer diameter for wear; confirm washer thickness meets OEM specifications
  • Orient the washer per OEM service guidance to ensure proper seating and axial load distribution
  • Use only OEM replacement parts to maintain fit and tolerances; replace adjacent seals/gaskets if needed
  • After installation, rotate the assembly by hand to confirm smooth seating and absence of binding
• Benefits: preserves bearing surfaces, minimizes premature wear, and maintains consistent axial spacing in driveline components

Compatibility

• Suitable machine models: John Deere models and driveline configurations that specify a stamped steel thrust washer with the R290002 designation
• Alternative part numbers: no publicly documented cross-reference for R290002; verify with official Deere parts literature or a local dealer for region-specific equivalents
