Description
When your Ford 2000 is burning oil, losing compression, or just won't start like it used to, it's time for a proper engine rebuild. These three-cylinder diesels are workhorses that'll run forever with the right care, but after decades of honest farm work, they need attention. This basic overhaul kit gives you the core components to breathe new life into that reliable engine and get back to work.
What You're Getting
- Complete set of .040 oversized pistons and rings to restore compression and stop oil burning
- Pin bushings to eliminate that annoying piston slap on cold mornings
- Full gasket set that seals everything up tight from head to pan
- Quality Tru-Power components built to handle farm duty day after day
- Everything sized for the 158 cubic inch, 4.2-inch bore three-cylinder diesel
Built for Real Farm Work
The Ford 2000 series tractors from 1965 to 1975 are everywhere on small to medium farms, perfect for loader work, mowing, raking, and light tillage. These three-cylinder diesels are nearly bulletproof when maintained right, known for their fuel economy and reliability. Whether you're doing daily chores, running a finish mower, or pulling implements, this engine needs to deliver steady power under varying loads.
Made to Last
This isn't a cheap rebuild kit that'll leave you doing the job again in a few years. The oversized pistons give you fresh cylinder walls to work with, while the quality rings provide proper compression and oil control. Every gasket in the set is made to handle the heat cycling and pressure these engines see in real farm conditions.
Good to Know
This basic kit gets you the essential rebuild components, but you'll need to have the cylinders bored and check your crankshaft and bearings separately. Most machine shops can handle the boring work, and it's worth having them check the head for cracks while you're at it. Plan on a weekend project if you're doing the work yourself, or budget for a qualified mechanic who knows these old Fords.
