Description
When you’re deep into rebuilding that vintage TE20 or TVO20 engine, you know every little part matters. This connecting rod locking tab might be small, but it plays a crucial role in keeping your rod bearings properly positioned and preventing them from spinning in their housing. Without it, all that careful work assembling your bottom end could come undone when the engine fires up.
What You’re Getting
- Prevents connecting rod bearing shells from rotating during operation
- Maintains proper bearing clearances and oil film thickness
- Helps ensure reliable lubrication to critical engine components
- Direct replacement for original Massey Ferguson specification
Built for Real Farm Work
These tabs are essential for the Standard Motor Company engines found in both the TE20 petrol and TVO20 paraffin tractors. Whether you’re restoring a Grey Fergie for show or getting one back to work for hay season, this small but vital component ensures your engine internals stay where they belong under load.
Made to Last
This tab is manufactured to match the original specifications that kept these engines running for decades. The proper material and thickness provide the right spring tension to lock bearings in place without interfering with proper assembly clearances.
Good to Know
Installing these tabs requires careful attention during engine assembly – they need to seat properly in the bearing shell groove without binding. If you’re doing a complete rebuild, now’s the time to replace all the tabs since you’ve got everything apart anyway. A good engine manual will show you the proper positioning and installation technique.
