Farmall md rod and main bearings

Eddie V · Oct 4, 2014

Can I replace rod and mains on the md by just pulling the oil pan and changing out the bearings?

Sure but how will you know what size to get and how will you know if it needs to be ground or will you use plasti-ga to see how much wear is on the crank.

With mds do it right the first time not half a$$, it will come back and bite you. They are so expensive to get parts for but I would rather spend the money one time and do it right then, do it half a$$ and have something happen and have to do it all over again or worse the rotating assembly fair and ruin the block. Just my thoughts good luck jim.

yes, but have you checked the clearance already to know that it needs brgs. and how's the crank look?

Want to change out the bearings out It runs great but has bout 40% lower oil pressure on the oil gauge

you need to check the oil pressure with a master guage. get an actual p.s.i. reading cold and hot. does the oil pressure drop down when engine gets hot?

the cam bearings will affect the oil pressure as much as the crank bearings will. Or the pump may be the culprit.
