If your old Ford 9N, 2N, or 8N is starting to knock or lose compression, chances are it’s time for some bottom-end attention. These undersize rod bearings are exactly what you need when the crankshaft journals have been turned .040 inch smaller during a rebuild. It’s a common scenario with these classic tractors—after decades of faithful service, the crank needs a little machining to clean up the wear, and these bearings provide the perfect fit for renewed life.
What You’re Getting
- Complete set of four .040 inch undersize rod bearings for all cylinders
- TISCO quality construction that meets or exceeds original specifications
- Proper clearances restored for optimal oil pressure and engine longevity
- Direct replacement when your crank has been turned .040 undersize
Built for Real Farm Work
These rod bearings fit the classic Ford N-series tractors that have been the backbone of American farming for generations. Whether your 9N is still plowing garden plots, your 2N is running a brush hog, or your 8N powers a hay rake, these engines were built to work hard and with proper bearings, they’ll keep running for decades more.
Made to Last
Farm tractors don’t get babied, and these TISCO bearings are engineered to handle the constant load changes and extended run times that come with agricultural work. The bearing material provides excellent wear resistance while maintaining the oil film that protects your freshly-machined crankshaft from scoring or damage.
Good to Know
These are for engines where the crankshaft rod journals have been turned .040 inch undersize—standard bearings won’t work. Make sure your machine work is complete and journals are properly polished before installation. A good tip: always replace all four rod bearings at once, even if only one was knocking, to ensure balanced performance throughout the engine.
