When you hear that knock from deep inside your engine, or notice oil pressure dropping steadily, worn main bearings are often the culprit. Main bearings are the foundation of your engine—they support the crankshaft and keep it properly aligned while handling the tremendous forces generated by combustion. This bearing set keeps your Massey Ferguson’s 3-cylinder diesel engine running smooth and quiet, whether you’re running a loader, pulling a planter, or handling daily farm chores.

- Complete set of standard-size main bearings for proper crankshaft support
- Precision-manufactured to OEM specifications for exact fit and clearances
- High-quality bearing material designed to handle diesel engine loads

Built for Farm Work
These bearings fit Massey Ferguson’s reliable 3-cylinder diesels found in smaller utility tractors perfect for orchards, small farms, and specialty operations. Whether you’re running a sickle bar mower, pulling a two-bottom plow, or operating a loader for barn chores, these engines deliver dependable power when properly maintained. The Perkins 3-cylinder diesel in your MF 135 or similar model has earned a reputation for reliability when given proper care.
Made to Last
Farm engines work hard in dusty, dirty conditions with heavy loads and long hours. These bearings are engineered to handle the demanding conditions of agricultural use, with proper heat treatment and manufacturing tolerances that ensure long service life. The bearing material provides excellent oil retention and wear resistance, while the precision fit ensures proper oil clearances for reliable lubrication.
Installation Notes
Main bearing replacement requires complete engine disassembly—this is major repair work best handled by an experienced mechanic. Check crankshaft journals for wear and measure clearances before installation. While not a beginner’s job, experienced mechanics can handle this with patience and the right manual. Most shops complete major engine work like this in several days. Always use proper torque specifications and assembly lubricant during installation.
