Description

When your tractor engine starts making that concerning knock sound or you notice clutch problems developing, it might be crankshaft end play giving you trouble. Your 212, 236, or 248 series engine’s crankshaft needs to stay put—excessive back-and-forth movement wears out bearings fast and can lead to expensive damage. This rear packer set restores proper crankshaft positioning so your engine runs smooth and quiet again.

What You’re Getting

Precision-matched pair of rear thrust packers designed to work together
Exact thickness specifications that restore factory clearances
High-quality bearing material that handles the constant thrust loads from your clutch
Direct replacement for worn packers—no guesswork on fitment

Built for Real Farm Work

These packers are engineered for the 212, 236, and 248 engine series found in Massey Ferguson tractors like the 165, 175, 188, 290, and 362 series. Whether you’re running a utility tractor for loader work or a row-crop machine for field operations, these engines power through demanding farm tasks. The thrust forces from clutch operation and power transmission put constant pressure on these components.

Made to Last

Farm engines don’t get babied, and these packers are built to handle it. The precision-ground surfaces maintain exact positioning under load, while the high-grade bearing material resists wear from thousands of clutch cycles. Unlike cheap replacements that compress or wear quickly, these maintain their thickness and keep your crankshaft where it belongs.

Installation Notes

Always replace these as a matched pair—mixing old and new packers causes uneven loading and premature failure. Before you start, measure your crankshaft end play to confirm the problem and check again after installation to verify proper clearance. Clean all thrust surfaces thoroughly and inspect the crankshaft for scoring while you’re in there.
