Description

When you hear that dreaded knocking sound coming from deep inside your engine or notice the oil pressure dropping during operation, it’s time to think about main bearings. This gauge gives you the early warning you need when oil pressure drops, whether from a failing oil pump, worn bearings, or simple maintenance issues like low oil level or a clogged filter. These main end bearings are what keep your crankshaft centered and stable, handling all the forces from combustion and keeping things running smooth.

What You’re Getting

Standard size main end bearings designed specifically for the TEF20 20C diesel engine
Precision-manufactured to OEM specifications for proper crankshaft support
Quality construction that handles the demanding loads of diesel engine operation
Direct replacement bearings—no machine work needed if your crank journals are still standard size

Built for Real Farm Work

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. Today, these vintage machines are still working hard on small farms, market gardens, and hobby farms. They’re perfect for cultivation, hay operations, mowing, and light loader work. Many are also used for custom work like brush hogging, snow plowing, and maintaining large properties.

Made to Last

These bearings are built to handle the constant pounding that comes with diesel engine operation. The materials and construction are designed to provide proper oil clearance while supporting the heavy loads that your TEF20’s diesel engine puts on the crankshaft during normal farm work.

Installation Notes

Crankshaft installation is the heart of any engine rebuild. The included bearings are matched to this crank’s specifications – never mix bearings from different sources. Cleanliness during assembly is paramount. Check all journal dimensions and use Plastigage to verify clearances. This is definitely a job for someone with engine rebuild experience, as proper bearing clearances are critical for long engine life.
