Description

When you’re hearing that telltale knocking from deep inside your tractor’s engine, it’s likely time to address worn connecting rod bearings. These critical components keep your pistons connected to the crankshaft while handling thousands of combustion cycles every hour. Getting fresh bearings in there now can save you from a complete engine rebuild down the road.

What You’re Getting

Precision-manufactured bearings sized at 30 thousandths oversize to compensate for crankshaft wear
High-quality bearing material designed to handle the loads and heat of diesel engine operation
Complete set for all cylinders – no mixing and matching needed
Direct replacement for worn original bearings when your crankshaft has been turned 30 thou

Built for Real Farm Work

These bearings are engineered specifically for the legendary Perkins 3.152 series engines that powered thousands of Massey Ferguson, Ford, Landini, and other tractors from the 1960s through the 1980s. Whether you’re running a classic MF 135 for hay work or a Ford Dexta for cultivation, this three-cylinder Perkins engine has proven its reliability in farm operations worldwide.

Made to Last

Quality bearing material and precise manufacturing tolerances ensure these bearings can handle the constant stress of connecting rod operation. The 30 thousandths oversize dimension matches standard machine shop practices when crankshafts are reground to restore proper clearances and oil flow.

Good to Know

These bearings are meant for engines where the crankshaft has been machined 30 thousandths undersize. Always have your crank journals measured by a machine shop before ordering – using the wrong size bearings will either give you excessive clearance or no clearance at all. During installation, keep everything spotlessly clean and follow proper torque specifications for the rod bolts.
