Description
If you’ve ever worked on an exhaust manifold on these older Massey Ferguson tractors, you know those studs have a habit of snapping off when you least expect it. Those studs love to snap off after years of heat cycling, leaving you with a mess of broken hardware in the cylinder head. This exhaust manifold stud is the proper replacement to get you back up and running without the headache of extracting broken pieces.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-threaded 1 21/32 x 3/8 UNF stud built for exhaust manifold mounting
- High-strength steel construction that handles the constant heat cycling
- OEM-style design with proper length and thread specifications
- Sold individually but comes in a pack of 10 for convenient bulk purchasing
Built for Real Farm Work
The MF 35 or 135 with its reliable Perkins AD3.152 three-cylinder engine has been powering through farm work for decades. These studs fit a wide range of models from the classic MF 35 up through the bigger 500 series tractors, all using that dependable Perkins 3.152 engine family. Whether you’re cultivating corn, baling hay, or running a loader, these tractors see hard use that puts stress on every exhaust component.
Made to Last
The constant heating and cooling cycles from engine operation eventually weaken the original studs, making them prone to breaking during routine maintenance. This replacement uses high-grade steel that resists the thermal fatigue that kills original equipment. The threads are rolled rather than cut, giving better strength and resistance to galling.
Installation Notes
Begin by applying penetrating oil to old studs days before the job if you’re replacing the whole manifold. If you’re just replacing broken studs, clean all mating surfaces thoroughly and check for cracks in the head before installing. Thread the new stud in by hand first to avoid cross-threading, then tighten to specification. A drop of anti-seize on the threads helps future removal.
