Description
If you’ve noticed your Ford 8N’s governor isn’t responding smoothly or there’s extra play in the governor drive assembly, this little thrust washer might be the culprit. This fiber flat washer sits between the governor drive gear components and keeps everything properly spaced while handling the rotation and thrust forces that come with governing engine speed. It’s one of those small parts that makes a big difference when it’s worn out.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-cut fiber material that handles heat and oil better than paper gaskets
- Exact thickness to maintain proper gear spacing and smooth governor operation
- Durable construction that won’t compress or deteriorate like cheaper alternatives
- Direct replacement that fits right where the original washer goes
Built for Real Farm Work
This washer is specifically designed for Ford 8N tractors from 1948 to 1952, fitting right into the governor assembly that controls your engine’s RPMs. Whether you’re running the PTO, pulling implements, or doing loader work, the governor keeps your engine running at the right speed—and this washer helps it do that job smoothly.
Made to Last
Fiber washers are the right choice for this application because they handle the oil, heat, and constant pressure better than other materials. This one’s made from quality fiber stock that maintains its thickness and sealing properties even after thousands of hours of operation.
Good to Know
When you’re rebuilding the governor or replacing governor components, it’s smart to replace this thrust washer even if the old one looks okay. The governor assembly needs to come apart anyway, and a fresh washer ensures everything operates like it should. Keep the governor area clean during installation to prevent dirt from getting into the gear teeth.
