Thrust washers

[Willy Makeit]

I am looking at a major overhaul kit from yesterday tractor. In the kit which is for a mf 135 special they list new thrust washers as one the items in the kit. Looking at a picture of engine and crank shaft I can't see where any are used. Does anyone know were these would go thanks Willie

If's a diesel they go by the rear main.

Ally cat it's not a diesel it's a 4 cydl gas engine, I think it's a z 134 continental eng.

I think you will find one main bearing has flanges this is your thrust washers.

I don't see any thrust washers in the gas engine kit just the diesel.

Some of the Continentals( like the Z129) take out the crankshaft thrust loads with a thrust washer at the front of the crank shaft through the first main bearing support. The Z120 takes it out at the mid bearing support with a flanged main bearing..
