Description
If you’ve ever had a front axle nut work loose, you know it’s not something you want to experience twice. This tab washer might look like a simple piece of metal, but it’s what keeps your front axle nuts locked tight where they belong. When you’re working rough ground, turning tight corners with a loader, or dealing with the constant jarring that comes with farm work, this little washer is what stands between you and a potentially dangerous axle failure.
What You’re Getting
- Multiple bendable tabs that lock securely over hexagonal nuts to prevent loosening
- Corrosion-resistant construction that holds up to weather and farm chemicals
- Precision fit designed specifically for Massey Ferguson front axle assemblies
- Standard duty construction that handles normal farming vibration and stress
Built for Real Farm Work
These washers fit a wide range of Massey Ferguson tractors from the smaller utility models up through the bigger row-crop machines. Whether you’re running a 165 for hobby farming, a workhorse 255 for daily chores, or a larger 390 for serious field work, your front axle takes constant punishment from loader work, hay operations, tillage, and uneven terrain.
Made to Last
Tab washers aren’t just about preventing minor repairs – they’re about preventing catastrophic failures that can lead to wheel loss or steering problems. The steel construction is heat-treated to bend cleanly without cracking, creating a mechanical lock that won’t give up even under extreme vibration or side loads.
Good to Know
Install the washer against the nut, then use a hammer and punch to bend at least two tabs up against the flat sides of the nut for proper locking. Always replace tab washers rather than trying to reuse old ones – once the tabs are bent, the metal work-hardens and may crack if bent again.
