Description
When you’re hearing that telltale knock from the engine that makes your heart skip a beat, it’s probably time to look at your connecting rod bearings. These big end bearings are what keep your pistons connected to the crankshaft, and when they start wearing out, you’ll know it. This set of four 30 thousandths bearings gets your Ford tractor’s heart beating strong again.
What You’re Getting
- Complete set of four big end bearings for all cylinders
- 30 thousandths undersize for engines with worn crankshafts
- Precision-fitted bearing shells that handle the power and heat
- Direct replacement for early-type 36mm journals on Ford tractors
Built for Real Farm Work
These bearings fit the workhorses of many farms – Ford 3000, 4000, 5000, and 7000 series tractors that have been plowing fields, baling hay, and running PTOs for decades. Whether you’re running a compact utility tractor or a bigger row-crop machine, these engines were built to work hard, and these bearings keep them running smooth.
Made to Last
Engine bearings take tremendous abuse – they’re spinning thousands of times per minute under heavy loads while oil and heat try to break them down. These bearings are built with materials that can handle the constant stress and maintain proper oil clearances even under the demanding conditions of field work.
Installation Notes
This is definitely an engine-out or major teardown job that most folks take to their mechanic. The crankshaft will need to be measured and possibly turned to accept these undersize bearings. While you’re in there, it’s smart to check your main bearings, oil pump, and other wear items – you don’t want to do this job twice.
