The Wacker Neuson Axial Ball Bearing is a genuine OEM component designed for the BL744 and BL742 series Backhoe Loaders. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this is the same axial ball bearing installed at the factory, ensuring correct tolerancing and load-handling characteristics for your machine. Compatible fitment spans the BL744ch, BL744h, BL742h, BL744c, and BL744 EX Backhoe Loaders, so you can order with confidence that is the right part for your application.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Axial Load Tolerancing — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original precision specifications, this bearing handles the axial thrust loads specific to these backhoe loader drivetrain positions without premature wear or play.
- Drop-In Installation — Dimensionally identical to the original, the 5100032535 seats correctly in its housing without modification, keeping your repair time tight.
- Broad BL-Series Compatibility — Fits the BL744ch, BL744h, BL742h, BL744c, BL744 EX, and BL742 EX Backhoe Loader models, covering the full BL744 and BL742 family.
- Smooth, Controlled Rotation Under Load — A correctly functioning axial ball bearing keeps rotational components tracking true under thrust loads; a worn bearing introduces vibration, noise, and accelerated wear on surrounding components.
- Genuine Wacker Neuson OEM Part — Backed by Wacker Neuson's parts program, this is not a substitute or approximation — it is the same bearing specified for original production.
An axial ball bearing — also called a thrust ball bearing — is designed to carry loads that run parallel to the shaft axis rather than perpendicular to it. In a backhoe loader, these bearings are typically found in rotating assemblies such as swing mechanisms, transmission components, or hydraulic drive circuits where axial thrust forces must be managed smoothly and continuously. When an axial ball bearing wears out or fails, the result is increased play in the assembly, abnormal noise under load, and eventual damage to adjacent shafts and housings — making timely replacement critical to keeping the machine operating accurately and safely.
