Description
You know that grinding sound when your starter can’t quite catch the flywheel? Or maybe you’ve heard that telltale ratcheting noise when the ring gear teeth are chipped or worn. When your starter spins freely but won’t turn the engine, it’s time for a new ring gear. This 128-tooth ring is the connection between your starter motor and engine – no ring gear, no starting.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-cut 128 teeth for smooth starter engagement and reliable cranking
- Heavy-duty construction built to handle the stress of diesel compression ratios
- Proper heat treatment ensures long life under constant starting cycles
- Direct replacement for both diesel and gas applications across multiple Ford series
Built for Real Farm Work
This ring gear covers virtually all Ford tractors from classic models through modern machines, from the smaller utility tractors up through the big row-crop workhorses. Whether you’re running a 2000 series for chores around the farm or a 7710 pulling heavy tillage equipment, this gear handles the daily starting demands that come with real farming.
Made to Last
Farm tractors start a lot – sometimes dozens of times per day during busy seasons. This ring gear is built to handle that punishment with hardened steel construction that resists wear from starter pinion engagement. The precise tooth profile ensures smooth meshing that reduces stress on both the ring gear and your starter motor.
Installation Notes
If your old starter was making grinding noises, inspect the ring gear for damage before installing the new unit. Ring gear installation typically requires flywheel removal and proper heating/cooling techniques for shrink fitting. Most folks leave this job to a shop with the right tools, but it’s straightforward work for anyone comfortable with engine teardown.
