Long Cylinder Head Stud 4-1/4 Inch for Massey Ferguson 35, 65, and 100 Series Tractors

Description

Nothing’s worse than pulling your cylinder head off to fix a gasket leak only to discover those old studs have stretched beyond reuse. Worn or stretched studs can’t maintain proper clamping pressure, leading to blown head gaskets, coolant leaks, and compression loss. This long cylinder head stud gives you the proper 4-1/4 inch reach and 7/16 UNF threads your vintage Massey Ferguson engine needs to keep that head clamped down tight through years of hard work.

What You’re Getting

• Full 4-1/4 inch length provides the correct thread engagement for these engines
• Precision 7/16 UNF threading matches British-built Ferguson specifications
• High-strength steel construction designed specifically for engine requirements, not generic hardware store all-thread
• Heat-treated for the right balance of strength and stretch resistance with roll-formed threads that are stronger where it counts
• Quality studs that can be reused multiple times if you ever need to pull the head again

Built for Real Farm Work

This stud is engineered for the Perkins engines that powered some of the most dependable tractors ever built. Whether you’re running a 35 series utility tractor for loader work or putting a 135 through long days of cultivating, these engines generate serious heat and pressure cycles. Head studs are what keep your cylinder head clamped down tight against these forces.

Made to Last

This kit ensures your rebuild lasts as long as the original engine did. These aren’t hardware store all-thread rods – they’re purpose-built engine studs made from quality steel that won’t let you down when the work gets tough.

Good to Know

When installing, always clean the block threads thoroughly with a thread chaser, not a tap. Apply a small amount of engine oil to the threads and under the washers before torquing. Follow the factory torque sequence and specifications exactly – proper head stud installation is critical for head gasket longevity. Most experienced mechanics recommend replacing head studs anytime you have the head off, especially on older engines where the original studs have been through countless heat cycles.
