Description
If you’ve got oil showing up on your clutch housing or notice that familiar diesel smell creeping into the cab, chances are your rear crankshaft seal has given up the fight. The traditional rope seals effectively prevent oil leaks from the rear crankshaft into the clutch housing area, but after years of heat cycles and vibration, they wear out and need replacing. This rope-type seal keeps engine oil where it belongs and your clutch components clean and dry.
What You’re Getting
- Original rope-type design that’s been sealing crankshafts for decades
- Proper fit for the AD3-152 three-cylinder Perkins engine block
- Two seals included since this engine uses a pair for complete sealing
- Quality material that handles the heat and pressure of diesel operation
Built for the Workhorse Engine
The Massey Ferguson tractors powered by Perkins AD3-152 engines were among the most successful and widely-used agricultural machines from the 1960s through 1980s. Whether you’re running a loader, mowing pastures, or pulling implements, this 45-horsepower workhorse needs proper sealing to keep oil out of the clutch and transmission area where it can cause slipping and damage.
Made to Handle Farm Life
Rope seals have been around since these engines were new because they work. They’re built to handle the constant temperature changes from cold morning starts to full operating heat, plus all the vibration and stress that comes with farm work. When properly installed, they create a reliable barrier that keeps oil in the crankcase where it belongs.
Installation Notes
Rope seals require careful installation – they’ll leak if not perfectly installed. Take your time fitting them into the grooves and make sure they’re seated evenly all around. Clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly before installation, and don’t be surprised if it takes a little patience to get them positioned just right. It’s worth doing it right the first time to avoid having to split the tractor again.
