When your starter begins grinding and struggling to engage, or you hear that awful metal-on-metal screech when you turn the key, chances are your ring gear teeth are worn or damaged. This essential component meshes with the starter motor to crank your engine, and when it’s worn out, you’re not going anywhere. Getting your tractor back to reliable starting means replacing this gear with one that’s built to handle the demands of farm work.
What You’re Getting
- Precision-cut 128 teeth that mesh perfectly with your starter motor for smooth engagement
- Heavy-duty steel construction that stands up to thousands of start cycles
- Exact 408mm outer diameter and 372mm inner diameter for proper flywheel fitment
- Heat-treated gear teeth that resist wear and chipping from repeated use
- Direct replacement that installs just like the original factory part
Built for Real Farm Work
This ring gear fits an extensive range of Ford New Holland tractors from compact utility models to big row-crop machines. Whether you’re running a 30 series tractor for chores around the farm, a TM series for heavy fieldwork, or anything in between, this is the same gear that came on your tractor from the factory.
Made to Last
Ring gears take a beating every time you start your tractor, especially in cold weather when engines are harder to turn over. This gear is built from high-quality steel with properly heat-treated teeth that maintain their edge through thousands of starts. The precision machining ensures smooth starter engagement and long service life.
Installation Notes
Ring gear replacement requires flywheel removal, so plan on some shop time or professional installation. When installing, heat the gear evenly to expand it for proper fitting – never hammer it on cold. Check your starter motor condition while you’re in there, since worn starters often damage ring gears.
