Description

When you hear that dreaded knock from down in the engine, those big end bearings are likely calling for help. These connecting rod bearings sit between your pistons and crankshaft, handling thousands of pounds of pressure every minute your tractor runs. When they start wearing out, you’ll hear it first as a rhythmic tapping that gets worse under load—and ignoring it means turning a bearing job into a complete engine rebuild.

Key Features

Standard thickness 32mm design fits the later-type engines in your Ford New Holland tractor
Precision-manufactured to exact tolerances for proper oil clearances and smooth operation
Heavy-duty construction handles the high compression and loads of diesel engines
Quality materials resist wear from constant pressure cycles and temperature changes
Direct replacement for original equipment—no modifications needed

Built for Real Farm Work

These bearings fit a wide range of Ford New Holland tractors from utility models through the big row-crop machines. Whether you’re running a TM series putting in long hours during harvest or a smaller 10 series handling daily chores, these engines work hard and need bearings that can keep up with the demands of farm life.

Made to Last

Farm tractors don’t get babied like highway vehicles, and these bearings are built to handle it. The bearing material is formulated to work with diesel fuel dilution, high operating temperatures, and the constant load changes that come from PTO work, hydraulic demand, and varying field conditions.

Installation Notes

Replacing rod bearings means pulling the oil pan and removing pistons—it’s an engine-out job for most folks. Check your crankshaft journals while you’re in there, as worn bearings often score the crank. Always replace bearings in complete sets and follow proper torque specifications. If you’ve been hearing that knock for a while, budget for machine shop work on the crankshaft too.
