Description
When your old IH tractor starts knocking or you’re hearing that ominous sound from deep in the engine, it’s time to look at those rod bearings. Worn connecting rod bearings can turn a reliable workhorse into an expensive pile of scrap metal if you don’t catch it in time. This standard-size rod bearing set gets your 100 series, 200 series, Super A-1 series, Super AV-1 series, or Super C series tractor’s heart beating strong again.
What You’re Getting
- Complete set of standard-size connecting rod bearings for all four cylinders
- Precision-manufactured to restore proper oil clearances in your engine
- Quality construction that handles the loads these old engines were built for
- Direct replacement for worn original bearings without machine work needed
Built for Real Farm Work
These rod bearings fit the 123 cubic inch 4-cylinder gas engines found in International Harvester’s compact and utility tractors. Whether you’ve got a Super A pulling a bush hog, a 100 series handling chores around the farmstead, or a 200 series working the garden ground, these bearings are engineered for the same duty cycle that made these tractors legendary for their durability.
Made to Last
Engine bearings are one of those parts where quality matters more than anything else. These bearings are manufactured to handle the constant pounding of connecting rods transferring power from pistons to crankshaft, thousands of times per minute. The material composition and surface finish are designed to work with your engine’s original tolerances and oil system.
Installation Notes
Rod bearing replacement requires pulling the oil pan and removing the connecting rod caps – not a job for the faint of heart, but definitely doable with basic tools and some patience. Always check your crankshaft journals for scoring or wear before installing new bearings. If the crank needs turning, you’ll need oversized bearings instead of these standard ones. Check your torque specs and don’t forget to prime the oil system before startup.
