Description
If you’ve noticed clunking noises from your differential or increased backlash in your drivetrain, a worn epicycle hub might be the culprit. This small but critical wear shim sits inside your tractor’s differential, maintaining proper clearances between the epicycle hub and its housing. When these shims wear out or go missing, the hub can move around, causing noise, vibration, and premature wear of expensive differential components.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-manufactured shim that restores proper hub positioning
- Exact thickness specification to match factory tolerances
- Durable construction that withstands the constant rotation and loading of differential operation
- Direct replacement for worn or missing original shims
- Prevents costly differential damage by maintaining correct clearances
Built for Real Farm Work
This shim works in the differential systems of a wide range of Massey Ferguson tractors, from the popular 100-series utility models like the 135 and 165 up through the bigger 600-series machines. Whether you’re running a loader on your 175, pulling a disc with your 265, or using your 4200-series tractor for heavy fieldwork, proper differential function is critical for reliable power transfer to your wheels.
Made to Last
Differential components take tremendous loads, especially when you’re working in tough conditions or using 4WD. This wear shim is manufactured to handle those forces while maintaining dimensional stability. The precise thickness and hardness ensure it won’t compress or wear prematurely, giving you long-lasting performance even under heavy use.
Installation Notes
Replacing this shim requires splitting the differential case, so it’s typically done during major differential service or rebuilding. If you’re having differential work done, it’s smart to replace these shims as preventive maintenance. Check your service manual for proper assembly procedures and torque specifications – getting the clearances right is crucial for proper differential operation.
