Engine Balancer Unit – 248 Old Type 4 Stud for Massey Ferguson & Perkins Engines

Description

If you’ve noticed your Massey Ferguson running rougher than it used to or feeling more vibration through the seat, the culprit might be a worn-out balancer unit. This old-type balancer was designed to smooth out the natural vibration in those reliable Perkins 4-cylinder engines, and when it starts wearing out, you’ll feel it. A good balancer makes the difference between a smooth-running tractor and one that rattles your teeth loose during a long day in the field.

What You’re Getting

• Old-type 248 balancer with traditional 4-stud mounting that matches your original setup
• Engineered specifically for Perkins 4.236 and 4.248 engines – no guesswork on fitment
• Precision-balanced design that reduces engine vibration and extends component life
• Heavy-duty construction built to handle the constant rotation and stress of daily operation

Built for Real Farm Work

This balancer fits a wide range of Massey Ferguson tractors from the dependable 100 series utility models up through the powerful 600 series row-crop machines. Whether you’re running a 168 on hay ground, pushing a 290 through corn harvest, or pulling heavy tillage with a 675, these are the workhorses that keep family farms running. The same engines power everything from compact telehandlers to full-size agricultural tractors.

Made to Last

Engine balancers take a beating – they’re spinning constantly at engine speed and dealing with all the vibration they’re designed to cancel out. This unit is built with quality materials that can handle thousands of hours of operation without losing their balance or developing the wobble that defeats the whole purpose.

Installation Notes

Balancer replacement requires engine teardown, so it’s typically done during major engine rebuilds or timing gear service. A repair kit is also available (QTP-2378) if you want to rebuild your existing balancer unit rather than replace it completely. Either way, this is precision work that requires proper timing and balance – not a job for the weekend mechanic unless you’ve got the right tools and experience.
