Nothing kills a good day in the field faster than rod knock starting up from your tractor's engine bay. When your trusty TEF20 starts knocking or showing signs of worn rod bearings, you don't want to be sidelined during busy season. These oversize connecting rod bearings get your Little Grey Fergie back to work by giving you that extra twenty thousandths of material to compensate for a crankshaft that's been machined to restore proper oil clearances. This complete bearing set includes everything needed to rebuild your Perkins 3.152 engine's bottom end properly, so you can get back to work without worrying about expensive engine failure. What You're Getting Complete set includes big end bearings, main bearings, and thrust washers for a full rebuild Engine bearings take tremendous loads, especially in agricultural applications where engines run for hours at varying RPMs. These oversized bearings are manufactured to handle the stresses of farm work while providing the proper oil film thickness for reliable lubrication and heat dissipation. Standard size bearings designed for engines with crankshafts still within OEM specifications Quality materials and construction ensure long service life under demanding farm conditions Complete thrust washer set maintains proper crankshaft end play and prevents damaging movement Built for Hard-Working Farm Engines This bearing set fits a wide range of tractors powered by the legendary Perkins 3.152 engine family, from the classic Ferguson TEF20 "Little Grey Fergie" to the popular Massey Ferguson 35, 135, and 148 models. The Ferguson TEF20, often called the "Little Grey Fergie," revolutionized farming in the 1940s and 50s with Harry Ferguson's three-point hitch system. These 20-horsepower workhorses handled everything from plowing small fields to powering sawmills and hay balers. The Massey Ferguson 35, nicknamed "Gold Belly" for its distinctive gold-painted engine, became one of the most popular tractors ever built. Today, these vintage machines are still working hard on small farms, market gardens, and hobby farms. Made to Last These oversized bearings are manufactured to handle the stresses of farm work while providing the proper oil film thickness for reliable lubrication and heat dissipation. The bearing materials are specially formulated to withstand the constant pressure changes and temperature cycles that come with agricultural work, from early morning cold starts to long days under load pulling implements through tough conditions. Installation Notes Installing oversize bearings requires having your crankshaft machined by a qualified machine shop to the proper dimensions. Always check crankshaft journal diameter with a micrometer before ordering, and consider replacing the main bearings at the same time if you're doing a complete bottom-end rebuild. A good tip is to keep the old bearings for reference when talking to your machine shop about the grinding work needed. While you're doing the rebuild, it's also smart to check the oil pump and replace the oil pan gaskets since everything is accessible.
