Description

When your old Continental gas engine starts sounding like a bucket of bolts or won’t stay in time no matter how much you adjust it, the timing gear is usually the culprit. This 48-tooth camshaft gear keeps your valves opening and closing exactly when they should, which means your engine runs smooth and delivers the power you bought it for. Nothing’s more frustrating than fighting with an engine that won’t stay tuned, especially when there’s work waiting.

What You’re Getting

Precision-cut 48 teeth match the factory timing specifications perfectly
Quality steel construction holds up to years of engine vibration and load
Direct replacement design fits without modifications or special tools
Proper tooth profile ensures smooth, quiet operation with your existing timing chain

Built for Real Farm Work

This gear fits the legendary Continental gas engines that powered some of the most dependable tractors ever built. Whether you’re running a Ferguson TE20 around the farmyard, using a TO20 for hay work, or operating any of the classic Massey Harris and Ferguson models, these Continental engines were built to work hard every day. From loader work to field cultivation, these tractors earned their reputation for reliability.

Made to Last

Continental didn’t cut corners on their timing components, and neither do we. This gear uses quality steel that’s properly heat-treated to resist wear on the tooth faces while staying tough enough to handle the constant stress of opening and closing valves against compression. The tooth geometry matches the original exactly, so it meshes perfectly with your timing chain.

Good to Know

Replacing a timing gear means splitting the timing case, so it’s a good time to check your timing chain condition and replace it if there’s any stretch or wear. Most mechanics recommend replacing both together since you’ve got everything apart anyway. Make sure to line up your timing marks properly during reassembly – Continental engines are pretty forgiving, but getting the timing right makes all the difference in how they run.
