Description

When you’re deep into engine work on your old Ford tractor, it’s the small parts that can make or break a good rebuild. This tab washer might look simple, but it’s what keeps your crankshaft components locked in place and prevents them from backing out when your engine’s running under load. Without it, you’re looking at catastrophic engine damage and a much bigger repair bill.

What You’re Getting

Precision-made washer that locks crankshaft caps securely in position
Tabs bend over to prevent bolts from loosening under vibration and torque
Heavy-duty construction that handles the stress of diesel engine operation
Direct replacement for original equipment – no modifications needed

Built for Real Farm Work

This washer is specifically designed for the robust Ford engines found in Major and Super Major tractors. These workhorses were the backbone of farming operations for decades, powering through everything from heavy plowing to PTO work. The tab design provides positive retention that simple washers can’t match when your engine is working hard.

Made to Last

Engine components see tremendous forces, especially at the crankshaft where combustion power gets transferred to the drivetrain. This tab washer is built from quality steel that won’t fatigue or crack under the constant stress cycles of normal operation. It’s designed to stay put for the life of your rebuild.

Good to Know

This is a critical part for any crankshaft work – don’t try to reuse the old one or substitute a regular washer. The tabs need to be bent properly to lock the bolts in place, and they’re designed for one-time use. If you’re doing a complete rebuild, order extras since they’re often needed in multiple locations throughout the crankshaft assembly.
