When your trusty old Ferguson TEF20 starts knocking or showing low oil pressure, worn main bearings are often the culprit. The Ferguson TEF20, often called the “Little Grey Fergie,” revolutionized farming in the 1940s and 50s with Harry Ferguson’s three-point hitch system. These 20-horsepower workhorses handled everything from plowing small fields to powering sawmills and hay balers. This set of oversized main bearings brings new life to your engine by compensating for a slightly worn crankshaft.
What You’re Getting
- 20 thousandths (.020″) oversize bearings designed for reground crankshafts
- Precision-manufactured bearing shells that restore proper oil clearances
- Quality materials that handle the loads and heat of farm work
- Direct replacement for worn standard bearings when crankshaft is machined oversize
Built for Real Farm Work
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. Many are also used for custom work like brush hogging, snow plowing, and maintaining large properties. When you’re rebuilding that reliable old engine, these bearings give you the foundation for years more service.
Made to Last
These bearings are built to handle the constant rotation and load cycles that vintage tractor engines endure. The precision-ground surfaces and quality bearing material provide the smooth operation and durability your TEF20 needs to keep working season after season.
Good to Know
These are oversize bearings, which means your crankshaft needs to be professionally machined to .020″ oversize before installation. Having reliable oil pressure monitoring is especially important on older engines where small problems can quickly become major issues if not caught early. Always have your crankshaft measured by a machine shop to ensure proper fit and clearance.
