Description
When you’re pulling the head on your Massey Ferguson for a gasket job or engine rebuild, you’ll need a mix of long and short cylinder head studs to get everything back together properly. The shorter cylinder head studs are specifically designed for certain mounting locations within the Perkins A3.152 and AD3.152 engines, ensuring proper clearance and optimal clamping force distribution. This short stud measures 85mm x 9mm and fits specific positions where the longer studs would interfere with other engine components.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-manufactured 85mm length provides proper clearance in tight mounting locations
- High-tensile steel construction handles the constant heat cycles and clamping forces your engine dishes out
- Shorter design provides optimal clearance in specific cylinder head mounting locations while maintaining critical clamping force requirements
- Purpose-built for Perkins three-cylinder engines – not generic hardware store thread rod
Built for Real Farm Work
The Massey Ferguson 35, 135, 148, and 550 series tractors equipped with this cylinder head stud are reliable agricultural workhorses commonly used for crop production, hay operations, and general farm maintenance. These versatile tractors excel at field cultivation, implement operation, and utility work on small to medium-sized farms. Whether you’re running a loader, pulling implements, or doing general farm work, your Perkins three-cylinder engine needs every stud holding that head down tight.
Made to Last
These studs are heat-treated to handle the expansion and contraction that comes with engine operation. Unlike regular bolts that can stretch and lose their grip, quality head studs like this one maintain proper clamping force through countless heat cycles. The steel is engineered specifically for engine applications where failure isn’t an option.
Installation Notes
Professional installation is essential as proper torque sequence and specifications are critical for engine reliability and performance. Always replace cylinder head studs as part of complete cylinder head service to ensure uniform clamping force distribution. Use appropriate thread sealant and follow manufacturer specifications for torque values and installation sequence. Clean the block threads thoroughly with a thread chaser before installation – any debris will throw off your torque readings.
