Built for Real Farm Work
This gasket fits the legendary Massey Ferguson tractors from the 100 through 500 series that farmers have relied on for generations. Whether you’re running a 135 for chores around the farm, a 240 for hay operations, or a 550 for heavier field work, these tractors with Perkins A3.152 engines were the backbone of farming operations from the 1960s through 1980s. They handle everything from cultivation and planting to loader work and general farm maintenance.
Made to Last
The gasket materials are designed to handle the thermal cycling and high pressures of diesel operation without blowing out or losing compression. The quality gasket material resists the compression set that causes old gaskets to leak, maintaining a proper seal through years of heat cycles. It’s built to withstand the constant heating and cooling that comes with daily farm work.
Good to Know
During installation, ensure cylinder head surface is perfectly flat and clean all old gasket material thoroughly. Use proper torque sequence and specifications for head bolt tightening. Always replace cylinder head studs as part of complete cylinder head service to ensure uniform clamping force distribution. If you’re not comfortable with the job, this is definitely one for an experienced mechanic.
