Description

When your International Harvester tractor starts developing that telltale engine knock or you’re hearing metal-on-metal sounds from down in the crankcase, it’s usually the connecting rod bearings that are calling for help. These bearings take a beating every time a piston fires, and when they wear out, your engine loses power and risks serious damage. This standard-size rod bearing kit gets your IH engine back to running smooth and strong.

What You’re Getting

Complete set of connecting rod bearings in standard size for proper crankshaft clearance
Quality TISCO construction built to handle the stress of farm work
Direct replacement for original bearings—no machine work needed on standard journals
Engineered to provide proper oil clearance and protect your crankshaft

Built for Real Farm Work

This bearing kit fits a variety of International Harvester tractor engines that have powered farms for decades. Whether your IH is running a loader, pulling tillage equipment, or hauling wagons during harvest, these engines work hard and need bearings that can keep up with the demands of farm life. The standard size bearings are perfect for crankshafts that haven’t been turned or ground.

Made to Last

TISCO builds these bearings to handle the punishment that comes with rotary cutter work. They’re designed to keep running smooth even when you’re cutting in dusty conditions or hitting the occasional rock. The same durability applies to engine bearings—they’re manufactured to withstand the constant firing cycles and heat of hard-working tractor engines.

Installation Notes

This is an engine-out job that requires proper torque specifications and clearance measurements. Always check your crankshaft journals with a micrometer to confirm they’re still within standard size limits before installing these bearings. If your journals are scored or oversized, you’ll need machine work and oversized bearings instead.
