AGCO - 012100090080 - Locking Spring Massey Ferguson

This spring is a locking component for the gearbox assembly. It applies a preload force to hold a shift fork, detent plunger, or similar mechanism in its engaged position, preventing unintended disengagement during operation. A fatigued or collapsed spring reduces the holding force, which can cause the gear to jump out of mesh under load, leading to driveline chatter or sudden loss of power. This part is manufactured to the original spring rate and free length, so it restores the correct preload without requiring shimming or adjustment of the shift mechanism.
