Description
If you’ve been hearing a rattling or knocking noise from the front of your engine, especially during idle or low RPM operation, your balancer gear might be wearing out. This gear is part of the balancer assembly that smooths out engine vibration and keeps your Massey Ferguson running quietly. When it starts to fail, you’ll notice more engine shake through the steering wheel and seat, making those long field days less comfortable.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-cut splined gear designed to mesh properly with the balancer shaft
- Heat-treated steel construction that handles the constant rotation and load
- OEM-spec dimensions ensure proper timing and smooth operation
- Direct replacement for worn original gear – no modifications needed
Built for Real Farm Work
This balancer gear fits both the smaller utility tractors in the 100 series and the heavier-duty 500 series models. Whether you’re running a 168 around the barnyard doing daily chores or putting a 590 through heavy fieldwork like discing and plowing, this gear keeps your Perkins diesel engine running smooth and balanced.
Made to Last
Engine balancer components take a beating from constant rotation and the forces of keeping a diesel engine smooth. This gear is built with the proper hardness and tooth profile to handle thousands of hours of operation without premature wear or tooth breakage that could damage other balancer components.
Installation Notes
This gear is part of the complete balancer assembly, so you’ll need to split the engine case to replace it. Since you’re already that deep into the engine, it’s smart to consider the complete balancer repair kit which includes all the wear items. Make sure to check timing marks when reassembling to keep everything properly aligned.
