Abstract
A self-aligning shaft bearing mounting assembly suitable for rotatably supporting a disc harrow shaft or the like, adapted to be mounted on a framework including a strut having a pair of spaced apart ball-members affixed thereto. An anti-friction bearing is supported by a bearing carrier comprised of a pair of plates formed with a central tubular aperture for clamping the bearing and including a pair of substantially hemispherical sockets disposed at diametrically spaced positions to each side of the central aperture and bearing and slidably overlying the ball portion of the ball members. The bearing carrier includes fastening means for securing the plates together in face-to-face relationship for clamping the bearing in the housing and the ball portions in the socket permitting pivoting self-aligning movement of the carrier about an axis passing through the ball portions.
