These pistons are the heart of the engine rebuild, and you’ll need all three to get your workhorse back to full power and clean operation.
What You’re Getting
- Cupped head design that matches the original factory specifications for proper compression
- Includes the piston pin so you have everything needed for installation
- 3.6-inch bore size engineered specifically for the AD3-152 engine
- TISCO quality construction that delivers reliable performance at a fair price
- Direct replacement for worn or damaged pistons in your engine rebuild
Built for Real Farm Work
This piston fits the legendary Perkins AD3-152 three-cylinder diesel that powered countless Massey Ferguson 35, 135, and 148 tractors through decades of farm work. The MF 135 with its reliable Perkins AD3.152 three-cylinder engine has been a farm favorite for decades. The Massey Ferguson 135 represents one of the most successful utility tractors in agricultural history, with over 400,000 units produced from 1964 to 1975 in the US and continuing until 1979 in England. As the flagship model of the innovative MF 100 Series, the 135 became the backbone of small to medium-sized farming operations worldwide. These versatile 45.5-horsepower tractors excel in diverse agricultural tasks including crop cultivation, hay production, livestock management, property maintenance, and light construction work.
Made to Last
The cupped head design is critical for proper combustion chamber shape and compression ratio in the AD3-152 engine. TISCO engineering ensures these pistons meet the tolerances needed for reliable operation, whether you’re running a loader all day or pulling implements through heavy ground. The included piston pin saves you time and ensures you have the right components for a complete installation.
Good to Know
You’ll need three of these pistons for a complete engine rebuild, along with rings, bearings, and gaskets. Professional installation is recommended since engine rebuilds require proper torque specifications and timing. Make sure to check your cylinder bores for wear before installation—if they’re out of spec, you may need to consider boring and honing for oversized pistons.
