CONNECTING ROD BEARING FOR JOHN DEERE R57450

The John Deere connecting rod bearing, part number R57450, is a replacement part designed for the John Deere tractors listed on this page, including the John Deere 2630 and 2640. If you are looking for this bushing to service the connecting rod assembly, be sure to verify both the part number and the exact tractor model before placing your order.

A bushing designed for the connecting rod assembly

This part number corresponds to a connecting rod bushing, a wear part used in the connecting rod assembly. In this type of component, the bushing helps ensure proper support for the corresponding pin and is replaced during repair work when the assembly is disassembled.

The choice of a bushing is not random. Even when the part designation seems simple, a difference in part number is enough to require a different installation. In this case, the part number to note is R57450; be sure to verify it against your machine before replacement.

John Deere applications listed for this part number

This bushing is listed for John Deere tractors in the following series:

• 30 Series: 2630
• 40 Series: 2640

These applications are the compatibility models explicitly associated with this part number. If your tractor belongs to one of these series, verifying part number R57450 remains the surest way to confirm your selection. If your machine has a similar but different model designation, it is best not to assume compatibility without a precise match.

Key identifiers for selecting this part

For a connecting rod bushing, identification is based first on the part number, then on the tractor model. This data sheet does not provide usable dimensions to distinguish between multiple variants, which makes part number R57450 particularly important when placing an order.

When removing the part, comparing the removed part with the new part number also helps prevent installation errors. With a family of parts like this one, visual similarity is not always enough to guarantee interchangeability, especially between similar series from the same brand.

Replacement and Inspection Before Reassembly

A connecting rod bushing is generally replaced during an overhaul of the relevant assembly or when wear is detected on the existing part. Before reassembly, follow the method appropriate for your engine and the assembly procedure specified by the machine manufacturer.

If you are looking for this part for a John Deere 2630 or 2640, use part number R57450 and the exact tractor identification. This will minimize the risk of error when selecting the correct connecting rod bushing.

FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of a connecting rod bushing on a tractor?

A connecting rod bushing fits into the connecting rod assembly to ensure proper contact with the corresponding pin. When it is worn out, replacing it helps restore proper alignment. For this part number, verification must be done using part number R57450 and the exact tractor model.

Is this R57450 bushing compatible with the John Deere 2630 and 2640?

Yes, this connecting rod bushing is suitable for John Deere 2630 and 2640 tractors. These two models are the ones explicitly listed. Before ordering, verify part number R57450 and ensure it matches your assembly to avoid confusion due to machine variations.

How can I identify the correct connecting rod bushing before ordering?

The main identifier is part number R57450. You should also check the tractor model in question—in this case, the John Deere 2630 or 2640—and compare it to the part you’re removing, if necessary. Since no dimensions are listed on this product sheet, the part number remains the most reliable selection criterion.

When should a connecting rod bushing be replaced?

Replacement is generally performed during a complete overhaul of the connecting rod assembly or when the old bushing shows visible wear. For this type of part, it is better to replace it during disassembly rather than reinstall a worn component. Then follow the installation procedure specified for your engine.
