This is an aftermarket replacement flywheel ring gear, part number 738588M1NO, designed as a compatible alternative for Massey Ferguson tractors. It serves as a direct replacement for the original Massey Ferguson part 738588M1. This crucial component features 126 teeth (Z-126), ensuring proper engagement with the starter motor pinion to effectively crank the engine. Manufactured to meet or exceed the specifications of the original part, this non-OEM ring gear provides a cost-effective solution for restoring your tractor's starting system. It is commonly found in a wide range of Massey Ferguson models, including the MF 35, 135, 148, 230, 240, 250, 550, and industrial series like 20C, 20D, 20F, 30B, 30E, 30H, 40B, 40E, 50, 50A, 50C, 50E, 50F, particularly those equipped with Perkins A3.152, AD3.152, A4.212, A4.236, and A4.248 engines. The flywheel ring gear is essential for the engine's starting process. When the starter motor is activated, its pinion gear extends and meshes with the teeth of the ring gear, rotating the flywheel and subsequently the crankshaft to initiate combustion. A worn or damaged ring gear can lead to starting difficulties, grinding noises, or complete failure to crank the engine. This aftermarket replacement offers reliable performance and durability, making it an excellent choice for maintenance and repairs. Ensure compatibility with your specific tractor model and engine type before purchase.
