Description

If you’ve ever wondered why your PTO-driven implements seem to fight you more than they should, or you’re hearing grinding noises from the back end when you engage the PTO, there’s a good chance alignment is off. Massey Ferguson changed their PTO specifications partway through production, and this spacer plate fixes the spacing issues that developed with later serial number tractors.

What You’re Getting

Precise thickness that corrects PTO shaft spacing on later production tractors
Eliminates the binding and harsh engagement that damages both tractor and implement
Direct replacement part that requires no modifications or special tools
Prevents the premature wear that costs you hundreds in repairs down the road

Built for Real Farm Work

This spacer is critical for MF 135, 240, and 550 tractors with serial numbers 457632 and higher. These are the workhorses you’ll find running everything from bush hogs and finish mowers to balers and post hole diggers. When PTO alignment is right, power flows smoothly and your implements last longer.

Made to Last

Massey Ferguson didn’t make this change lightly – proper PTO spacing prevents thousands of dollars in damage to gearboxes, U-joints, and drive shafts. This precision-made plate maintains the exact clearances your tractor needs for smooth operation season after season.

Installation Notes

You’ll need to remove the PTO to install this spacer, so it’s perfect timing if you’re already doing clutch work or transmission service. While you’re in there, it’s smart to check your implement input shafts for wear – damaged splines usually mean alignment has been off for a while.
