Built for Real Farm Work

The Perkins AD3-152 is a workhorse engine found in countless Massey Ferguson tractors and other agricultural equipment. These 3-cylinder diesels are known for their reliability and fuel efficiency, making them popular choices for utility tractors, compact equipment, and farm implements. When properly maintained with quality bearings like these, they’ll run for thousands of hours handling everything from field work to loader operations.

Made to Last

Engine bearings take tremendous punishment from constant rotation, heavy loads, and temperature extremes. These oversize bearings are manufactured to precise tolerances using materials that resist wear and maintain proper oil film thickness. The .020″ oversize dimension compensates for crankshaft machining, restoring proper clearances for optimal lubrication and long engine life.

Good to Know

Installing rod bearings requires complete engine disassembly and should be done by someone with engine rebuild experience. Always have your crankshaft inspected and machined by a qualified machine shop to ensure proper journal dimensions for these oversize bearings. Don’t forget to check connecting rod big end dimensions too – they may need resizing for proper bearing fit.
