3598 Universal Joint 35×98 mm

The 3598 universal joint is a greaseable external-circlip cross-bearing kit for driveshaft, propshaft and selected agricultural driveline repair. Its primary dimensions are a 35 mm bearing cup diameter and a 98 mm overall span. The photographed kit includes one complete cross assembly with four installed bearing cups, four separate external snap rings and an angled grease fitting on the cross body.

This page uses 35×98 mm as the visible product size. The filename and URL use 35×98 because web addresses do not use the multiplication sign. Before ordering, buyers should compare both dimensions, the external snap-ring arrangement, groove position and grease-fitting location with the removed joint.

External snap-ring retention with four circlips included.
Greaseable design with an angled fitting on the forged cross body.

Installation quality directly affects the service life of a 3598 universal joint. Clean and inspect the yoke bores, press every bearing cup squarely, and confirm that each snap ring seats fully in its groove. After installation, check free joint movement, propeller shaft phasing and shaft balance before returning the driveline to service.

Cross Reference Numbers

Common catalog and buyer searches connected with the 3598 universal joint include UJ3598, UJ3598Q, UJ3598INA, NJ131, GU1000 and GUM71. These references are included for product identification and quotation searches. Supplier numbering can vary, so they should not replace dimensional verification.

Even when two products are both described as 35×98 mm, differences in snap-ring thickness, groove position, bearing-cup construction and lubrication arrangement can affect installation. Confirm the physical sample or equipment parts catalogue before treating an alternative number as a direct interchange.

Typical Applications

This 3598 universal joint is commonly searched for driveshaft, propshaft, light-truck and agricultural equipment service. Some market listings connect the 35×98 mm external-circlip family with selected John Deere, ZF and Deutz driveline applications. Machine model, transmission, axle and previous propeller shaft replacement can change the required joint.

For the fastest compatibility review, send MR Driveline the existing part number, bearing cup diameter, overall span and clear photographs of the snap-ring grooves and yokes. A removed sample or dimensional drawing is preferable when the original reference is unreadable.
