If you've noticed oil spots under your tractor or that telltale sheen on your clutch housing, chances are your crankshaft rope seal is giving up the ghost. This old-style seal sits at the back of your engine where the crankshaft meets the flywheel, and when it starts to leak, it can make a real mess of your clutch and cause expensive damage down the road. What You're Getting Traditional rope-style seal that matches your original equipment design Quality materials that handle the constant rotation and temperature cycling Proper fit for Perkins A4.236 and A4.248 four-cylinder engines Includes all necessary components for a complete seal replacement Built for Real Farm Work This seal is designed for the workhorse tractors that built agriculture—Massey Ferguson's 100, 200, 500, and 3000 series machines. Whether you're running a compact 168 for hay production or a bigger 3060 for row crop work, these tractors with their reliable Perkins engines have been earning their keep on farms for decades. They handle everything from loader work to heavy tillage where a good seal is critical. Made to Last The improved seal technology provides superior sealing performance compared to traditional rope seals, effectively preventing oil leaks from the rear crankshaft into the clutch housing area. Quality rope seal material stands up to engine heat and the constant flexing that comes with normal operation. Installation Notes Note: Engine disassembly required for installation including tractor splitting, clutch removal, and flywheel removal. Professional installation strongly recommended due to complexity. This isn't a weekend project—you'll need to split the tractor and pull the flywheel to get at this seal. While you've got everything apart, it's a good time to check your clutch components too.
