Description

When your Massey Ferguson starts burning oil, losing power, or turning the oil black faster than you can change it, you know it’s time for the rebuild you’ve been putting off. The legendary Perkins 4.248 engines powered countless Massey Ferguson tractors from the ’60s through the ’90s, whether you’re running a 165 for hay work, a 275 for heavy tillage, or a 390 for loader duty—these 4-cylinder powerplants earned their reputation in dairy operations, grain farms, and custom work where reliability meant everything. This complete overhaul kit gets your workhorse back to running like it should, with all the major components you need in one package.

What You’re Getting

Complete piston set with rings for proper compression and long-lasting performance
Full gasket set including head gasket, valve cover gasket, and all sealing components to stop leaks
Rod and main bearings engineered to handle the loads these engines generate
Quality components that match original specifications without the factory price tag
Everything packaged together so you’re not hunting for individual parts

Built for Real Farm Work

This overhaul kit serves Massey Ferguson 100, 200, 500, and 600 Series tractors that handle diverse farming operations from field cultivation and hay production to livestock management, with Perkins 4.248 engines powering these machines in demanding applications including heavy tillage, harvesting support, loader work, and continuous PTO operations. These are the mid-range tractors that form the backbone of most farm operations, and when they’re running right, they’ll work day after day without complaint.

Made to Last

Farm engines don’t get babied, and this kit is built for the real world of agricultural work. The components are designed to handle the heat cycles, dust, vibration, and constant loads that come with tractor life. These aren’t hardware store parts—they’re purpose-built engine components with steel that’s heat-treated for the right balance of strength and durability.

Installation Notes

Follow the factory torque sequence and specifications exactly—proper installation is critical for long-term reliability, and most experienced mechanics recommend replacing major components anytime you have the engine apart, especially on older engines where the original parts have been through countless heat cycles. This is a complete tear-down job that requires mechanical experience, but it’s the kind of work that’ll give you years more service from a proven engine design.
