Description
There’s nothing quite like that sinking feeling when you hear that telltale knock coming from deep inside your engine every time you let off the clutch. What you’re hearing is your crankshaft moving back and forth more than it should – a sure sign your thrust washers have worn out. This matched pair of rear crankshaft packers stops that damaging movement and brings back the smooth, quiet operation your Massey Ferguson engine was designed for.
What You’re Getting
- Matched pair of rear-position thrust washers – both pieces work together for balanced load distribution
- Precision thickness specifications that restore proper crankshaft end play to factory specs
- Quality bearing materials that handle thrust loads without breaking down under pressure
- Direct replacement that eliminates the knock and protects your expensive engine bearings
- Smooth surfaces that reduce friction while supporting the substantial forces during clutch operation
Built for Real Farm Work
Your classic Massey Ferguson with the 35X, 135, 148, or 165-203 series engines has probably been earning its keep for decades. Whether it’s daily loader work on the 135, running hay equipment with the 165, or handling lighter duties with the 35X, these proven workhorses keep farms running worldwide. But all that clutch use over the years takes its toll on the thrust control system, and that’s where these packers come in.
Made to Last
These aren’t just any thrust washers – they’re built to the exact specifications your engine needs. The bearing material provides excellent wear resistance under the constant thrust loads generated every time you work the clutch. Unlike worn packers that allow excessive crankshaft travel and destroy your main bearings, these replacements restore the tight tolerances your engine was built with.
Good to Know
Before you dig into this job, measure your existing end play with a dial indicator so you know what you’re working with. Take a close look at the crankshaft thrust surfaces while you’re in there – if they’re scored up, new packers won’t fix the problem. Always replace thrust washers as a complete set, and remember that excessive wear often comes from aggressive clutch use or misalignment issues you’ll want to address to protect your new parts.
