Description
If you’ve ever had a gear come loose inside your transmission, you know it’s not a problem that waits for convenient timing. This tab washer is one of those small but critical parts that keeps your idler gear properly positioned and prevents expensive internal damage. When these washers fail or go missing, gears can shift out of alignment, causing noise, rough shifting, or complete transmission failure.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-formed tab washer designed to lock your idler gear in proper position
- Heavy-duty construction that handles the constant vibration and stress of transmission operation
- Bendable tabs that create positive mechanical lock against gear movement
- Direct replacement part that matches original specifications exactly
Built for Real Farm Work
This tab washer fits a range of Massey Ferguson tractors including the popular 165, 168, and 188 models from the 100 series, the 290 from the 200 series, and the 690 from the 600 series. These are the workhorses you see on farms everywhere – running hay equipment, pulling planters, and handling loader duties day in and day out.
Made to Last
Transmission components take a beating from constant power transfer and gear mesh forces. This tab washer is made from spring steel that maintains its shape and locking ability through thousands of hours of operation. The tabs bend cleanly during installation and hold their position under load.
Installation Notes
Installing this washer requires splitting the transmission or removing the gear assembly – definitely not a field repair. Once installed, the tabs bend over to lock the gear in place. Make sure the gear is fully seated before bending the tabs, and always use a new washer rather than trying to reuse an old one.
