Description
If your Massey Ferguson has started vibrating more than it used to, especially at idle or under load, that worn balancer shaft might be the culprit. The engine’s balancer shaft works quietly inside your Perkins engine to smooth out those pulses and vibrations that come with diesel power. When it’s working right, you barely notice it – but when it starts wearing out, your whole tractor feels rougher than it should.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-machined balancer shaft designed specifically for Perkins A4.236 and A4.248 engines
- Direct OEM replacement that restores smooth engine operation and reduces vibration
- High-quality steel construction built to handle the constant rotational stresses
- Proper hardness and surface finish for long service life in demanding farm conditions
Built for Real Farm Work
These balancer shafts fit a wide range of Massey Ferguson tractors from the reliable 100 and 200 series utility machines up through the powerful 500 and 600 series workhorses. Whether you’re using your 168 for loader work around the farmyard, running a 265 through the fields with a cultivator, or pulling heavy implements with a 575, these are the tractors that handle everything from feeding cattle to harvesting crops.
Made to Last
Farm engines work hard, and the balancer shaft takes a beating spinning constantly to counteract engine vibration. This replacement shaft is built with the same materials and specifications as the original equipment, designed to handle thousands of hours of operation. The precision machining ensures it runs true and maintains proper clearances with the engine’s internal components.
Good to Know
Replacing a balancer shaft requires partial engine disassembly, so it’s typically done during a major engine rebuild or when other internal work is being performed. This shaft references multiple OEM part numbers including 32731127, S.40511, S40511, 30/93-2, VPD1608, and 743115M1, so you know you’re getting the right part. Most mechanics recommend inspecting the balancer shaft gear and related components while you’re in there to ensure everything works together smoothly.
