Description
Ever turn the key and hear that grinding sound instead of the familiar whir of your starter motor? More often than not, that’s your flywheel ring gear showing its age. This toothed ring around your flywheel is what your starter pinion grabs onto to turn your engine over, and after years of faithful service, those teeth can get worn or damaged. When that happens, you’re not going anywhere until it’s fixed.
What You’re Getting
- Direct replacement ring gear that fits like the original factory part
- Precision-cut teeth that mesh perfectly with your starter pinion gear
- Heat-treated steel construction that stands up to the heavy torque loads
- Proper diameter and tooth count for reliable starting every time
Built for Real Farm Work
This ring gear is engineered for the classic Massey Ferguson workhorses – from the legendary TE20 series that helped thousands of farmers through the post-war years, to the dependable 35 and 135 models that are still earning their keep on farms today. These tractors have seen everything from dawn-to-dusk haying seasons to winter feeding chores, and they need starting components that won’t let them down when there’s work to do.
Made to Last
Starting your tractor puts tremendous stress on the ring gear – your starter motor has to spin a cold engine with thick oil and high compression. This replacement gear is built from quality steel with proper heat treatment to handle that punishment. The teeth are cut to precise specifications so they’ll engage smoothly with your starter and wear evenly over time.
Installation Notes
This is a job that typically requires removing the transmission to access the flywheel, so it’s often done when you’re already in there for clutch work. The old ring gear usually needs to be heated and pressed off, while the new one should be heated before installation to ensure proper fit. A good shop with the right equipment can handle this job properly.
