Description

When your TEF20’s engine starts knocking or you see metal shavings in the oil during overhaul, it’s time for new main bearings. 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 10 thou oversize main end bearing is exactly what you need when standard bearings no longer fit properly after the crankshaft has been machined.

What You’re Getting

Precision-manufactured 10 thousandths oversize bearing for machined crankshafts
Proper fit and clearance for restored oil pressure and quiet operation
Quality construction that matches original engine specifications
Direct replacement for worn standard bearings after crankshaft work

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. This bearing handles the loads these reliable engines put out during steady work around the farm.

Made to Last

Engine bearings take tremendous loads and heat, especially in these hard-working diesels that often run for decades. This bearing uses quality materials and precise manufacturing to handle the journal loads while maintaining proper oil clearance. The bearing surface is designed to work with modern oils while providing the durability these vintage engines need.

Good to Know

This is an oversize bearing meant for crankshafts that have been turned 10 thousandths. Installing oversize bearings on a standard crankshaft will cause immediate failure. When oil pressure drops, whether from a failing oil pump, worn bearings, or simple maintenance issues like low oil level or a clogged filter, proper bearing clearance is critical for getting your Little Grey Fergie back to reliable operation.
