Description
When you’re rebuilding that trusty old Ford Major engine, every bearing matters. This connecting rod bush sits at the small end of the rod where it connects to the piston pin, and it’s one of those critical parts that keeps everything running smooth. If you’ve noticed knocking sounds or the engine just doesn’t feel as tight as it used to, worn connecting rod bushings are often the culprit.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-machined bush designed for the small end of the connecting rod
- OEM-quality construction that fits like the original Ford part
- Heat-treated material stands up to engine vibration and high RPM operation
- Proper internal diameter maintains oil clearance for reliable lubrication
Built for Real Farm Work
This bush is engineered specifically for the Ford Major series engines – including the original Major, Power Major, and Super Major models. These tractors earned their reputation doing everything from cultivating fields to running belt-driven equipment, and this bush is built to handle that same demanding work cycle after cycle.
Made to Last
Quality bushings use the right bronze alloy with proper hardness to handle the constant hammering of piston forces. The machined oil grooves ensure proper lubrication flow, while the precision fit prevents the excessive clearances that cause knocking and oil pressure loss.
Good to Know
Installing these requires pressing out the old bushings and pressing in the new ones – it’s machine shop work that needs proper tools and know-how. After installation, the bushings need to be reamed to final size for proper piston pin clearance. If you’re doing a full engine rebuild, now’s the time to replace all the rod bushings even if some look okay.
