Piston Ring Kit for Fordson Major, Super Major, and Power Major Tractors

Description

If your Major series tractor is starting to blow oil smoke, losing power, or burning more fuel than usual, worn piston rings are often the culprit. This isn’t just about performance—worn rings let combustion blow-by past the pistons, contaminating your oil and eventually damaging bearings and other expensive engine parts. Getting a good ring kit now saves you from a much bigger engine rebuild down the road.

What You’re Getting

• Complete ring set for 100mm standard bore pistons with proper compression and oil control rings
• Quality materials that seal properly and handle the heat cycles your tractor engine puts them through
• Standard size rings that fit without machine work if your cylinders are still within spec
• Everything you need for all cylinders in one kit—no hunting for individual parts

Built for Real Farm Work

These vintage British tractors were workhorses commonly used in mixed farming operations, estate work, and restoration projects. The 45-50 HP Fordson Major series from the 1950s and 60s are still common on smaller farms, handling everything from hay work to cultivation. Whether you’re running hay equipment, pulling implements, or doing loader work, these rings restore the compression and oil control your engine needs to keep working reliably.

Made to Last

Engine rings take a beating from constant heat, pressure, and the abrasive environment inside your cylinders. These rings are built to handle the demands of agricultural work, with materials and manufacturing that match or exceed what came from the factory. They’ll seal properly and maintain compression through thousands of hours of field work.

Good to Know

Before installing, check your cylinder bores for wear, taper, and out-of-round conditions—rings can only do their job if the cylinders are in good shape. If you’re doing the work yourself, a ring compressor tool makes installation much easier and prevents breaking rings. Take your time with ring gap measurements; proper end gaps are critical for long-term performance.
