What This Is

This listing is for a complete exhaust manifold gasket and stud kit for the three-cylinder Perkins 3.152 engine used in many Massey Ferguson tractors. It is a gasket and hardware kit, not the exhaust manifold casting. The kit gives you the fresh gaskets and mounting studs needed to reseal the exhaust manifold to the cylinder head and to the exhaust elbow, curing the exhaust leaks and ticking that develop as the original gaskets burn out and the studs corrode.

Fitment

The kit fits Massey Ferguson tractors powered by the three-cylinder Perkins 3.152 engine, in both the AD3.152 direct-injection diesel and the AG3.152 gasoline versions. Common applications include the MF 135, 148, 230, 235, 240, 245, and 250, along with related models and the Massey Ferguson 20 and 30 series industrials and the 203 and 205 industrial tractors. It does not fit the four-cylinder Continental Z-145 gasoline engine that some early 135 and 150 tractors used, so confirm your engine is the three-cylinder Perkins before ordering.

What Is Included

You receive one complete kit containing two exhaust manifold-to-cylinder-head gaskets (the two-hole rectangular gaskets), one manifold-to-elbow outlet gasket (the three-hole round gasket), and three exhaust manifold studs with nuts in a 3/8 inch by 1-5/8 inch UNF thread. That is everything needed to remount and reseal the manifold on the Perkins 3.152.

Specifications

The two manifold-to-head gaskets use the standard two-bolt-hole pattern on the 3.152 cylinder head. The outlet gasket is the three-bolt-hole round gasket that seals the manifold to the exhaust elbow or downpipe. The studs are 3/8 inch UNF, about 1-5/8 inch long, and come with matching nuts. Gasket shapes and hole spacing were revised during the long production run of these engines, so measuring your old gaskets is the surest check.

Cross-Reference

This kit replaces Massey Ferguson numbers 1082589M1, 1688171M3, 4222050M1, and 731862M1. The manifold-to-head gasket also interchanges with 3604482M1, 36862143, 4222050V1, and Sparex S.41350, and the manifold-to-elbow gasket interchanges with 180104M1 and 180104M91. These numbers are listed for reference only to help you confirm the correct parts.

Ordering Guidance

Because Massey Ferguson and Perkins updated the manifold and gaskets over the years, fitment is best confirmed at the engine rather than by tractor model alone. Before ordering, verify that your engine is the three-cylinder Perkins 3.152 and that your gasket hole patterns and stud size match the kit. When they match, this kit reseals the complete exhaust manifold in one purchase.
