If you’ve ever rebuilt a Ford tractor engine, you know that precision matters when it comes to piston pin bushings. Worn bushings create that familiar knocking sound and allow excessive oil consumption—problems that only get worse under load. This bushing goes inside your connecting rods to provide a wear surface for the piston pin, and you’ll need 3 per engine to complete the job right.
What You’re Getting
- Tight tolerance bushing that restores proper piston pin clearance
- Quality bronze construction that handles engine heat and lubrication
- Requires machine boring to fit—just like the original Ford specifications
- TISCO quality that matches or exceeds OEM standards
Built for Real Farm Work
This bushing fits Ford tractor engines that see real work—whether you’re running a 2N on the hobby farm, a 9N for hay production, or an 8N for general farm duties. These engines were built to last, and when you’re doing a proper rebuild, using quality bushings like these keeps that reliability going for another few decades. The thin wall design and proper dimensions ensure you get the oil clearances Ford engineers intended.
Made to Last
Ford designed these engines to run hard and run long, and this bushing lives up to that standard. The bronze material provides excellent wear resistance while maintaining the oil film needed for proper lubrication. When installed correctly with proper boring, these bushings will handle thousands of hours of field work without complaint.
Installation Notes
Here’s the important part—these bushings require boring to size after installation. Don’t try to press them in and call it good. A machine shop needs to bore them to the correct clearance for your piston pins. While you’re rebuilding, this is also a good time to check your rod journals and piston pin condition to make sure everything’s within spec.
