Don't really know what to do with this bearing. Maybe just give 'er a shot of grease and button it up? :>)

As long as you use some synthetic grease it will last the life of the machine!

Hey Allan, Why not do what the old western'ers did, just wrap it with leather and use axel grease on it every couple hundred miles huh...jim in N.M.
A neighbor had the RH countershaft bearing fail like that on his 7720 late last fall while combining corn.
Deere has a safety shutdown, though.
After it wore through the pillow block, the rotating shaft dropped down and wore almost completely through the fuel line, stopping the engine.
WHY it didn't catch fire from the HOT shaft, I don't know!
WHY DEERE would put a fuel line BENEATH a bearing that COMMONLY fails on that machine, I can't IMAGINE!

You could replace the bearing, but I would be worried about the groove in the shaft since this appears to be the loaded end!

Hmmmmm,
Hope that's not going to be a problem.
This shaft is the electric header clutch input shaft and it's got quite a reduction to it.
Groove isn't all that deep anyway.
Good eye tho,
Allan

I really, really doubt it.
Was hoping to get her moving under her own steam this week. Seems like I take one step forward, find something else wrong and then I end up falling two steps behind.
Wheat is heading out as we speak, haying is gonna be on us before long, so maybe I'd better grease up the old F for this year. :>(
Sleep? Who in the heck needs sleep? :>)

That is a life time lubricated bearing.
The lube was gone and it ended its life.
Ithink a nice cast flange pillow frome dodge would be the ticket. JimN

Hey Allan-I have a few ball bearings left out of the bearing I changed today that looked just a little better than yours. Thay seem to be about the right size-want me to send them to ya? A little J-B weld to hold them in the race and some duct tape for a grease seal ought to fix it up.

Looks like a "Galvanized grinder" to me. I would say drill a 1/8" hole in the side and inject some molly grease. Then seal the hole with JB weld. BTDT.

They had a combine bee for a guy here thirty years ago. One guy showed up with a JD 55 that had a bearing he had to step out on the ladder and squirt some oil on every so often. Everybody got a good laugh out of this, but at the end of the day the 55 was the only one that had run all day without stopping. Lee
