Connecting Rod Small End Bush for Ford New Holland 10/30/40 Series and TW Tractors

Description

When your Ford tractor’s engine starts rattling or you notice excessive blow-by during those long days in the field, the connecting rod bushes might be telling you it’s time for attention. These small but critical components sit inside the connecting rods where they meet the piston pins, and when they wear out, your engine loses power and starts making noise you definitely don’t want to hear. A fresh set of bushes keeps everything moving smooth and tight like it should.

Key Features

• Precise fit inside connecting rods ensures proper piston pin clearances for smooth operation
• Quality bearing material handles the constant reciprocating motion and high loads of diesel engine work
• Tapered design matches factory specifications for proper installation and performance
• Built to work with proper lubrication to resist wear from high-pressure diesel combustion cycles

Built for Real Farm Work

This bush fits the powerhouse engines in Ford’s 10, 30, 40, and TW series tractors—the reliable workhorses that handle everything from loader work to heavy tillage. Whether you’re running a 5610 utility tractor around the farmyard or pulling implements with a big TW35, these engines take a beating and need quality components to keep delivering the power you depend on.

Made to Last

Engine components like connecting rod bushes need to handle thousands of hours of constant motion under high pressure and temperature. This bush is manufactured with quality bearing material that works with your engine’s lubrication system to provide smooth operation while resisting the wear that comes with hard farm work.

Installation Notes

This is definitely an engine-out job that requires complete disassembly—connecting rod bushes are typically replaced during major overhauls along with bearings, rings, and gaskets. The bush needs to be properly sized and fitted using precision reaming to get the right piston pin clearances. Pro tip: always replace all the bushes during a rebuild, even if some look okay—proper clearances are critical for engine longevity.
