Keeping a basic stock of filters, seals, and belts saves time when issues arise. Most local shops can handle routine service and minor repairs.
Replacement Parts and Component Availability
Finding quality replacement parts keeps your tractor running for years. Chenab Engineering manufactures heavy-duty castings for these tractor models. Their components meet strict quality standards and fit correctly.
- Tube Final Drive (S.G):
This tube sends the final power from the differential straight to your rear wheels. We cast it from heavy-duty ductile iron (spheroidal graphite iron), so it’s tough enough to handle heavy loads but flexible enough not to snap under pressure. We also make sure it’s perfectly straight during manufacturing, so you don’t get any annoying vibrations while driving.
It handles massive torque loads without bending or breaking, even during heavy hauling. The machined ends fit precisely with your wheel hubs and differential housing. This component is built to last through years of demanding field work.
- Support Splitter Fiat 480
This massive casting sits between the transmission and rear axle on the Fiat 480. It handles the full torque load when you are pulling heavy plows or trailers. We use premium-grade iron and apply strict heat treatment for maximum strength. CNC machining creates perfect bolt patterns so installation is straightforward and hassle-free.
The thick walls protect internal gears from shock loads and impacts in the field. This support keeps your entire drivetrain aligned under the heaviest working conditions.
- Axle Housing 385 RH:
This heavy-duty housing forms the right side of the rear axle assembly on the MF 385. It protects the differential gears and bearings from mud, dust, and constant impact. We cast it with extra-thick walls to resist cracking under extreme pulling loads. Precision machining ensures perfect alignment with your axle shafts and brake components.
The mounting surfaces are machined flat to prevent leaks and ensure a tight seal. Heat treatment adds durability so it withstands years of hard farming without failure.
- Water Outlet Connection
This fitting directs hot coolant from your engine block up to the radiator. It must handle high temperatures and constant pressure without developing leaks. We cast these with thick walls to resist cracking from thermal stress and vibration. The machined surfaces create a perfect seal with your radiator hose and engine block.
Our high-quality iron resists corrosion from coolant additives and moisture buildup. This prevents overheating problems and keeps your engine running cool during summer work.
- Hydraulic Lift Cover:
This cover seals the top of your hydraulic system and controls the lift arms. It maintains the high oil pressure needed to raise heavy plows and trailers safely. We machine the internal ports carefully to prevent leaks and ensure smooth operation. The casting is made from high-grade iron that resists warping under pressure.
Proper heat treatment stops the metal from cracking when hydraulic oil gets hot. Every unit is tested to guarantee reliable performance season after season.
- Oil Sump 240:
The oil sump sits at the bottom of your engine and holds the lubricating oil. It takes serious abuse from rocks and debris kicked up during field work. We cast these with extra thickness so they resist dents and prevent oil leaks. The machined gasket surface ensures a tight seal that keeps dirt out of your engine.
Our iron quality resists corrosion from oil additives and moisture over time. A strong sump protects your engine and prevents costly oil loss during critical work.
