Description
When you hear a knocking sound from your TEF20’s engine or notice the oil pressure dropping, worn connecting rod bearings are often the culprit. These big end bearings are what keep your connecting rods running smoothly on the crankshaft, and when they start to wear out, your engine’s days are numbered if you don’t act fast. The Ferguson TEF20, often called the “Little Grey Fergie,” revolutionized farming in the 1940s and 50s with Harry Ferguson’s three-point hitch system.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-manufactured bearings designed specifically for TEF20 engines
- Proper bearing clearances to maintain correct oil pressure and lubrication
- Durable construction that handles the loads of farm work and PTO operation
- Direct replacement for worn original bearings—no modifications needed
Built for Real Farm Work
These 20-horsepower workhorses handled everything from plowing small fields to powering sawmills and hay balers. Your TEF20 might be running a brush hog, pulling a hay rake, or powering a sawmill, and those connecting rod bearings are taking the brunt of every power stroke. Today, these vintage machines are still working hard on small farms, market gardens, and hobby farms. They’re perfect for cultivation, hay operations, mowing, and light loader work.
Made to Last
These bearings are built with the proper bearing material and thickness to handle the constant pounding of your engine’s pistons. They’re manufactured to original specifications so they’ll maintain proper oil clearances and keep your crankshaft journals protected during long days of work.
Installation Notes
Replacing connecting rod bearings is a major engine job that requires splitting the tractor and removing the engine oil pan. You’ll need to check crankshaft journal condition and measure bearing clearances during installation. This is typically a shop-level repair, but if you’re handy with engine work, take your time and follow proper torque specifications for the rod bolts.
